Question

Define the term 'problem'. Outline how you can overcome a problem.

Answer 1

Problem – a state of desire for reaching a definite goal from a present condition

Overcome a problem.

• Carefully consider "What will the situation look like when the problem is solved?" 
• What steps should be taken to implement the best alternative to solving the problem? What systems or processes should be changed in your organization, for example, a new policy or procedure? Don't resort to solutions where someone is "just going to try harder". 
• How will you know if the steps are being followed or not? (these are your indicators of the success of your plan) 
• What resources will you need in terms of people, money and facilities? 
• How much time will you need to implement the solution? Write a schedule that includes the start and stop times, and when you expect to see certain indicators of success. 
• Who will primarily be responsible for ensuring implementation of the plan? 
• Write down the answers to the above questions and consider this as your action plan. 
• Communicate the plan to those who will involved in implementing it and, at least, to your immediate supervisor.
