Module 10 planning your next steps. Once you have selected one or more solutions to the problem, it is time to implement them. This module looks at identifying tasks and resources and reevaluating the solution and adapting as necessary. Identifying tasks, this part of the creative problem solving process is the time to think about the steps for making the solution become reality. What steps are necessary to put the solution into place? brainstorm with people involved with a problem to determine the specific steps necessary to make the solution become a reality.
At this stage of the process, working with a smaller group may be more effective unless you need approval from a large group. While making that list identify any tasks that are critical to the timing of the solution implementation. critical tasks are items that will delay the entire implementation schedule. If They are not completed on time. Non critical tasks are items that can be done as time and resources permit. Identifying resources, this part of the creative problem solving process is the time to think about the resources for making the solution become reality.
What else is necessary to put the solution into place? The types of resources that may be involved are listed below along with some questions to think about to assign resources to the project of implementing the solution. Time How will you schedule the project? When would you like the solution completed? How much time will each task identify take? personnel who will complete each identify task equipment?
Is there any special equipment required to implement the task? Does the equipment exist or need to be obtained? Money? How much will this solution cost? Where will the money come from? information is there Any additional information required to implement the solution that will obtain it, how?
Implementing, evaluating and adapting. Once you have determined the test and resources necessary to implement the solution, take action. Now is the time to use your project management skills to keep the solution implementation on track. As part of the implementation process, you will also continue to evaluate the solutions. It is important to be flexible and adapt the solutions as necessary based on the evaluation of the solutions effectiveness at solving the problem. You may need to make adjustments to the plan as new information about the solution comes to light
