Problem solving is something that we all do every day. Sometimes the problem has an obvious or foregone conclusion. However, sometime you have to work a little harder to find an answer. This can be when the going gets tough and the tough get going. This training activity takes participants through a process for problem solving and encourages them to explore different approaches to creating solutions for customers

The training activity starts with an introduction about the importance of solving problems. It highlights the benefits of looking for problems in order to make improvements. An approach to problem solving using the SHINE system is introduced. Participants will be involved in short skill-builders throughout the activity, leading up to the solution of a specific problem.

Who is it for: This training activity is intended for use by trainers to enable participants to take a structured approach to problem solving, and to introduce the SHINE system to improve their ability to look for and find solutions to customer problems.
