Some Problems May Take More than One Pass to Solve
Do you ever find that you are so anxious to solve a problem that you take the first answer that comes to you or your group?
Sometimes that works beautifully. But sometimes you may need more than one approach and to be willing to experiment to find the best solutions.
The More the Merrier
One recommendation I have is to come up with several ideas instead of just one. You may still end up using that first idea but often you come up with even better solutions as you go deeper.
You may also end up combining ideas for a much more powerful solution.
What?’s Working and What?’s Not
One thing I?ve been tuned in to lately, though, is that sometimes you have a good solution to a challenge and once you implement it, you find that it can be tweaked and further refined for an even better solution.
Only you would not have come to that conclusion if you didn?t work through the first solution first. You don?t always understand enough until you start working through a problem to see things from a different perspective.
You can see what aspects of your solution work, what doesn?t, and what can be improved.
What does all this mean to you?
It means that your first attempts at solving a problem aren?t necessarily a failure if they don?t work out the way you hoped. They may be a stepping stone in the process.
Simply to be open to learning and experimenting until you are satisfied with the results.
Remember that old saying? If at first you don?t succeed, try, try again.
Do you have a problem or challenge that you are ready to make some adjustments to refine your initial solution?
P.S. If you need some help figuring things out, email me for an idea session or two.
