On January 24, 2000 at UCLA … surveys of more than 260,000 full-time college freshmen, reported boredom, drudgery, and disengagement in 
class.
This lack of interest in listening to somebody talk, is also the reason Problem Based Learning ...or PBL as it's often called... is now used in many business training sessions.
PBL overcomes passivity in the brain because when workers solve complex problems they improve their own lives as well as growing your bottom line. That's because PBL invokes more active worker participation in any firm…and people find value in their offerings...
To use problem solving effectively at work is to stir up worker curiosity and then to measure your concrete results…
Simply put...PBL starts with a question or problem to generate curiosity and wonder for deeper understanding of complex issues… Experts act as facilitators rather than disseminators of facts.... Leaders encourage more holistic outcomes rather than narrowly based results from any one person or discipline. See any sparks for your firm?
In PBL ... the team is expected to evaluate all key outcomes with a rubric used to indicate how the problem solvers reached requirements expected in their outcomes…
Effective problem solving starts with a clear vision… moves through diversified approaches to identify problems ... and plans solutions from alternative viewpoints.... You've likely noticed how great problem solving also brings together talented employees who think and work differently…? Now there is the beginning of a new kind of inclusion in your firm… one based on an enriched model for problem solving talent that weaves together more kinds of minds!
Check out these problem solving skills to get your team started….
