SOLVING COMPLEX ORGANISATIONAL PROBLEMS

Sustainable skill and competency development is the key to innovativeness
and increased productivity which is critical to your bottom-line. In the
current economy, sustaining current competition is a challenge, but it is
achievable with access to an accredited institution that can satisfy your
training needs on location or across the country.
Organizations today suffer from a severe disability when it comes to
solving problems. In virtually every organization, regardless of mission
and function, people are frustrated by problems that seem unsolvable.
Every attempt to resolve a problem results in unintended consequences that
dwarf the original one. Relationships worsen as people harden into
opposing positions, each side insisting on its own solution, unwilling to
consider alternatives. Too many problem-solving sessions become
battlegrounds where decisions are made based on power rather than
intelligence.
There is a subtle but pervasive kind of pain in our organizations. It is
characterized by such frequently heard complaints as “How am I supposed to
get my work done with all of these meetings?” and “We always have time to
do it over again, but never time to do it right.”
And organizational aggression is on the rise, mirroring the societal
trend. Competition has become increasingly ruthless with strategies that
aim to destroy competitors and achieve total market domination, rather
than former strategies of co-existence within well-defined niches. The
resurgence of command and control leadership is a less obvious but strong
form of aggression, where the will of one person is imposed on others with
the demand for obedience and compliance.
Laurence J. Peter said, “Some problems are so complex that you have to
be highly intelligent and well informed just to be undecided about them.”
Look for institutions that offer trainings on these and get enrolled. You get informed so as not to be deformed.
