Businesses today face more problems than they have time to solve. As a result, people admit they tend jump too quickly to solutions. But how can someone competently evaluate a solution without first understanding the nature, source or root causes of the problem? It's a crucial mistake that often interferes with finding creative solutions that truly make an impact on organizations.

A new MicroCourse called Effective Problem Solving for Teams addresses this problem and explores how to grow your capacity for problem-solving—a critical building block of innovation. You'll learn how to see problems clearly, prioritize them, define them in actionable ways, and then engage in solving them.

The MicroCourse is taught by Dr. David Niño, Senior Lecturer for the Bernard M. Gordon-MIT Engineering Leadership Program, and offers key learnings from the popular Digital Plus Programs course, Leadership & Innovation for Technology Professionals.
