A FEW TOOLS & TECHNIQUES
A good step-by-step method for problem solving is the POWER model. The word POWER is
an acronym for:
P: Problem identification—first you should be sure of what exactly the problem is.
O: Organise and evaluate—understand what you need to do and what resources you have ready.
W: Weigh and examine the options—check if there are any other possible ways of solving the same
problem and select the best possible option.
E: Execute—take the needed action to implement the solution you have chosen.
R: Review the outcome—lastly, you must review if the problem was solved as you had wished for
it to be.
