You're boss has asked you to review various processes for problem solving to help you with your job. The IDEAS process is a process used often at the office.
The IDEAS process for problem solving is as follows:
I- Identify the problem and set priorities
D- Deepen understanding and gather relevant information
E- Enumerate options and anticipate consequences
A- Assess the situation and make a preliminary decision
S- Scrutinize the process and self-correct as needed
In many cases, the problem-solving process folds back on itself as the problem solver realizes that adjustments are needed. Give an example from your own life when you used all 5 steps of the IDEAS process to solve a problem. Include the self-corrections you made and why you needed to make them.
