Learning Objectives
Students will learn how to:
- Avoid ineffective problem-solving.
- Differentiate between issue resolution and issue elimination and prevention.
- Clearly define any Problem.
- Develop a Cause and Effect Chart using:
- RC Pro®/RealityCharting® software or
- Sticky Notes and Pen.
- Identify Effective Solutions.
- Gather evidence or data to support their analysis.
- Develop and Implement an Action Plan.
