Puzzles, Mysteries, and Muddles: Naming and Taming Problems that Keep You Up at Night
Many people learn to solve problems in life or work with analysis that produces a “correct” or “best” solution. The problem with this is that there is no one-size-fits-all solution to problems because they are all different and different problems all require different solutions. With knowledge of many of these different types of problems, a person can get a more nuanced view of situations and properly target their approach to solving them.
Barnes & Conti Associates have created Puzzles, Mysteries, and Muddles™ based on twenty years of research by Jerry Talley, Ph.D. The program will provide participants with unique, sophisticated approaches and insights that will give them the tools to solve problems of all kinds and enhance their success as problem solvers.
