Answer:
d. Jumping to solutions before understanding the problem
Explanation:
The six steps of problem solving include the following:
- Problem identification and definition
- Look at possible solutions (diagnosis and analysis of cause)
- Evaluate alternatives
- Decide on solution to use
- Implement solution
- Evaluate the outcome
In the diagnosis and analysis phase there is consideration of what the underlying cause of the problem is. There is less focus on the quality of solutions considered at this stage. Rather we get a general set of solutions to solve the problem.
At this stage Jill will have the challenge of Jumping to solutions before understanding the problem.
At this stage it is very important to understand the problem and how it came about.
