Abstract

This chapter introduces five interactive thinking tasks that make up an ideal problem-solving process. This set of tasks comes together in a tool kit called problem orientation. You can use it to think through problems you are working on and find options to address them. The five thinking tasks are the widely accepted standard for rational thinking. Besides using the problem-oriented tool for yourself, you can use it as a lens to assess the activities of other people’s thinking and behavior. It can be used in team problem-solving efforts. This tool enables you to decide to what extent your own and that of other people have a sound, value-oriented rationale for what they are doing. This tool and allied methods encourage you to be rational, politically practical, and morally responsible. These proven thinking tasks used with skill can greatly enhance effective problem solving across many kinds of challenges.
