Assignment: Apply a six-step to problem solving process to a specific problem scenario.
When faced with a problem, what do you do to solve it? This assignment asks you to apply a six-step to problem solving process to a specific problem scenario. You will write a paper that presents a synthesis of your ideas about solving the problem using this systematic approach. As Voltaire said, No problem can withstand the assault of sustained thinking.
Choose one (1) of the problem scenarios as a topic choice for your paper. (Note: Your professor must approve your topic choice before you begin work on the assignment.)
Scenario 1: As the Human Resource Department (HRD) employee, you are responsible for employee training at a company in the US. Recently, following a company-wide training session, it became obvious that a number of employees did not understand much of the training. You realize that the employees are struggling with company correspondence and other documents written in jargon or obscure language. This makes it especially difficult for non-native speakers of English to comply with written instructions and company policy, and you suspect that many documents are written at a level that even native speakers do not fully comprehend. This scenario may require services never offered before, and the companys not sure where to begin. You talk with the manager of the non-English speaking employees and he gets very angry and tells you that anyone living in the US should know English or go back where they came from. What should the HRD employee do at this point?
Scenario 2: You have been working as an entry-level IT Specialist for a company for 7 years now and youre starting to get weary in that position. You have applied for multiple other jobs in the company over your tenure there; however, you arent being called in for an interview. It should be noted that your fellow employees are not being called in for an interview, either. You see a position coming up that is only available to those who are currently working at the company and not anyone outside. Should you apply?
