Problem Solving
Captions available
The idea
Problem solving is the process of moving from a current state to a goal state when the path is not immediately available.
In practice
Rearranging a shift roster after a colleague calls in sick requires generating and comparing options.
Where people slip
A problem with an obvious path is not a problem in this sense. The gap is what defines it.
