Consider any current problems or conflict you are facing (employment issue, living situation, relational issue). Select an issue that would lend itself to examination using the problem-solving agenda. Then apply the first three steps of the agenda: analyze the problem, brainstorm (by yourself or with others) solutions, and evaluate solution options. Be sure to follow all the elements presented in the text for each of these steps. Even if the issue is outside a group setting, learning to effectively complete these steps can translate into their use in a small group situation. There is no specific audience for the slides. They are a way to organize and then present your thinking as you practice elements of the problem-solving agenda. This will increase your ability to apply these elements in the future in a group setting. Create a slide deck to present your process and results (5-6 slides). Suggested content: Briefly describe of the issue Introduce any others who are involved Analyze the problem Brainstorm solutions Evaluate solution options Indicate value of the process How did being systematic affect the outcome? Did you discover an operable solution? Would you do anything differently?
