Goals and Targets:

This is an important part of decision-making in any Company or Organization. Supervisors are expected to involve their work teams in the problem solving process. The goal is to ensure decisions made by the Company management reflect on the conditions in all the departments.

  1. Supervisors should be able to determine the urgency of the problem and communicate it to the teams. This provides a guide to the process especially where deadlines must be met.
  2. Brainstorming should be encouraged in these sessions as a particularly useful problem-solving technique.
  3. Each solution proposition should be subjected to a pros and cons analysis to determine its suitability.
  4. In case decisions are arrived at, they should be communicated to every other sub-group involved. The Coordinator should be notified to determine the viability of the decisions arrived at, taking into consideration aspects such as short-term and long-term goals of the Firm.
  5. Follow up meetings should be organized by the supervisors to assess the outcome of implemented decisions.
  6. Supervisors should use different presentation methods throughout the meetings. Apart from verbal discussions, PowerPoint presentations and whiteboards provide an avenue to break the monotony of talk.

Time:

Allowances of time should be considered out of the schedules in meetings that involve problem solving, because of urgency of the matter or issues that may arise in the process of finding solutions.
