Description
I'm guessing this is NOT the first time you check out a Problem Solving training course, is it?
Just like you, I am also passionate about problem solving. I spent years learning all there is to know about it. And the extend of it is huge! Terrifying!
Improving your problem solving skills is a never ending effort, but time however, well, we always run out of it!
So, what is your metacognition on problem solving?
What I mean is: you may know some of what you know and some of what you don't know about problem solving, but you are certainly missing things you forgot you know, or things you simply don't know they exist.
Some other domains, such as Project Management, Business Analysis or Systems Engineering have their own "Body of Knowledge" (BoK). A Body of Knowledge is the complete set of concepts, terms and activities that make up a professional domain.
But, where is the Problem Solving Body of Knowledge?
Let's start by refining our ambitious scope going from Mission Impossible to The Matrix.
We will start by limiting the type of problems we are planning to solve using the problem solving skillset.
Problem solving focus in fact in problems with three common features:
They are unique, because of their novelty, or because they have never been solved.
They are multidisciplinary, or in some cases transdisciplinary.
They are dynamic. They evolve with time, generally towards chaos, according to the laws of our universe.
We've come across with the right term for these type of problems. They are COMPLEX.
So, what do you know about Complex Problem Solving? And what do you not know?
How do you assess your Complex Problem Solving skills level?
How can you improve your Complex Problem Solving skills effectively?
In this course, we will help you answer these questions and more!

Hi! I'm Rafael Navarro, and let me say, I'm super excited that you are reading this.
My academic background has been evolving since the late 90's until today. My titles include the following: Industrial engineering (MSc), Knowledge Management (MSc), Lean Product Lifecycle Management (MPhil), Management and Leadership (UK CMI Level 6) and some other less recognisable.
From my research, several of my journal papers are available through very reputable scientific journals and they are still today referenced on the topics I mention above. I have also given several lectures at Master students in Universities across Europe the UK on these same subjects.
In parallel, my work experience begins over 15 years ago in the aviation sector, working across large OEM functions as technical consultant (Lean, PLM and KM topics) and later on as project and programme manager.
In 2016, I created The Playmakers Club, whose focus is to help SME company owners to draw and move through the quickest and safest journey towards their professional goals using their companies as a means to that end. And as part of that, we have also developed a training course on the Complex Problem Solving Body of Knowledge (CPSBOK).
So far, I have worked hand by hand with over 150 companies in six different countries, enough as to understand that each company is unique in its configuration, its geographical, economical and sectorial environments and in their challenges which their owners face.
To sum up, I am absolutely passionate about Complex Problem Solving and I am looking forward to sharing my passion and knowledge with you!
