Workbook

The workshop workbook is filled with tools that are recipes for solving most any problem. We treat this book like most any recipe book when creating a meal. In using a recipe book you pick and choose whichever recipes would suit your needs. Much in the same way, pick and choose the recipes in this book that are appropriate for the problem. The participants will learn which "recipes" to select under different circumstances.

These recipes are for "rational" problems (a problem as a result of a change) as well as for creative problems (a new situation or opportunity).

It is divided up into five sections:

* The Stages and Tasks of Problem Solving
* Targeting
* Idea Generating
* Decision Making
* Implementing
