Document Summary
Common mistakes in decision making: begin analysis by formulating conclusions, focus on solutions that our institutions prefer, focus on content than process. Proact model: problem identification the way you state your problem frames your thinking. It determines that alternatives you consider and the way you evaluate them. Be aware of assumptions: objectives be clear about desired objectives. Exercise #1: pair up, with your partner. Each student should take turns to share a problem. Choose the best example in the group. Drawing on the proact model, identify the elements of pr & o in the story that you have chosen. Identify at least two alternatives and their consequences. Conceptual blocks that inhibit creative thinking: constancy. Being too tied to one perspective: commitment. Present problems are seen only as the variations of past problems. Failing to perceive commonalities among elements that initially appear to be different: compression. Not filtering out irrelevant information or finding needed information.
