一本讓你看完會驚訝發現自己的思考如此侷限的常用書！ ** ** ** ** 策略思考的問題解決能力是許多專業人士認為必要的技能，但卻不會出現在學校教育的專科課程裡。就連部分STEM（科學理工）學系出身的人，也往往缺乏這種「通才」的重要技能；他們往往無法釐清思緒、研究執行，甚而無法向工作團隊以簡明的語言「推銷」解決問題的方案。   原因是什麼？因為他們很少受過正式以問題分析並進行策略思考的系統性訓練。   擔任過企業諮詢顧問、並在大學任教的本書作者謝瓦里耶，將在這本書中由一隻狗「哈利」的走失開始，特別針對重大的複雜問題，帶領讀者走過一趟完整的問題解決思考訓練，在書中，這樣的問題即是複雜(complex)、定義模糊（ill-defined）、非迫切（nonimmediate）的問題（簡稱為CIDNI問題）     不只助你學習解決問題，更重要的是拓展思維。本書將協助你提升成為一個通才的技能   CIDNI問題在生活中並不是時時會出現──但這樣的問題往往正是考驗我們對問題解決的思考能力。對於這樣的問題，我們可以經由本書規劃的四大步驟及其工具進行探索與分析：   「找到你需要解決的問題」（What**）**：面對不熟悉的新狀況時，我們應先釐清真正的問題所在。我們時常以為對情況瞭若指掌，急著尋找解決辦法，但後來往往只會發現自己鎖定了錯的問題。   瞭解為何會遇到這個問題(Why)。釐清問題之後，接著是找出原因。學著從本書的「問題診斷分析圖」，將問題分解成不同面向，一次列舉所有可能肇因，再逐一檢驗假設後得出結論。   找出解決問題的可行方案(How)。明瞭問題癥結與原因後，主動尋找解決辦法。「解決方案分析圖」 能引導決策生成，從可能的解決辦法中挑選最理想的選項。   實際執行解決方案(Do)。要實際執行解決辦法，首要之務就是說服重要關係人，讓他們相信我們的結論正確無誤，本書最後會討論執行解決問題行動的考量事項，尤其著重於如何有效領導團隊。   現實中的難題沒有特定領域或形態，被教導著重特定領域的深度非壞事，但可能忽略了事情的廣度。「他山之石，可以攻錯。」培養有廣度的思維，是通才基礎，本書是結合了多種領域理論與實證的工具組合，以深入淺出的文字詳盡解說，正可提供一個廣泛適用的架構與必備工具，協助你更了解問題解決的思考之道。     〔書評推薦〕 幾年前我開始規劃一門MBA課程，在網路上搜尋了與此書主題相關的重要文獻。結果我找到介紹科學方法論的學術專著，以及琳瑯滿目、以揭露績優顧問公司成功秘訣為噱頭的商業暢銷書，但除此之外一無所獲。直到我發現謝瓦里耶教授的研究，才找到真正滿足授課需求的教材。他對此主題懷抱滿腔的熱忱……他的深入見解兼具學者嚴謹的概念論述與曾任執業企業顧問的實務觀點，可謂正中「甜蜜點」。我採用了謝瓦里耶教授的許多想法與方法，將他分享的精采內容融入我的課程，更運用到實際解決問題的個人經驗中。 ──喬治城大學麥克唐納商學院榮譽教授霍瑪（Ken...
