PDUs: 1 Ways of Working, 1 Power Skills

 

Event description

Problem-solving – looking for what doesn’t work and fixing it – has been widely employed for almost 90 years. At its best, problem-solving focuses on yesterday’s causes to solve today’s problems. It focuses on what we don’t want as opposed to what we do want.  
 
Much has changed over the past 90 years. As a society, we have embraced new philosophies, new technologies, and new approaches to conducting business and finding innovative solutions. This interactive keynote presents the argument for moving away from problem-solving and toward seeking opportunities.  
 
Disrupting our traditional ways of thinking about problems provides us with the ability to harness the energy of our past successes as well as our hopes for the future. This disruption pushes us outside our normal sphere of knowledge. Doing so allows us to facilitate solutions that make an even greater difference for our organizations and clients.
