Problem solving is one of the most universal skills. It applies to every organization in every environment, especially a customer service environment. Despite the necessity for problem solving, most people have no idea how to go about it in a methodical and effective way. This workshop will provide a comprehensive framework for problem solving, from defining the problem to determining causes, and from taking action to verifying effectiveness. We'll apply the concepts at each step through interactive and fun exercises. Please join us for an educational and engaging workshop that will change the way you think about problem solving.
