March 22, 2011 - PRLog -- DS Goldsmith has developed an  five step process that includes framing the issue, examining all the possible opportunities, putting together a customized plan of action, implementing the plan and developing a personalized follow-up plan.  Technology has intensified competition. The problem solving and decision making process was created to help leaders, executives, managers and their teams to be actively engaged in formulating comprehensive and customized solutions that will achieve more precise results.  We use a common sense approach not the management fad of the month.

DS Goldsmith uses techniques that include probing, paraphrasing, questioning, brainstorming, feedback,creativity and spring boarding.  Plus, DS Goldsmith uses tools boxes such as framing, decision making, communication, innovation,  to help its clients tap into and use their best ideas, skills, talents and tap into their full potential.  We give our clients the right techniques and tools that can be incorporated into each one of our action 5 steps, we help increase the assurance of short and long term success.  For example:

*  A powerful technique the firm uses to frame and understand the depth of an issue is by asking probing and “what if” and “so what” questions.
*  By helping clients do honest self-assessments of their personal situations, valuable insights are gained into what is possible and what is not.  
*  The firm uses brainstorming techniques when putting together customized plans of actions for their clients that include what, who, when and    why.
*  The organization incorporates communication, assessments, and measurement tools when formulating  a problem solving and decision making plan of action.
*  Working closely with our clients, DS Goldsmith customizes each follow-up action plan to assure the results are long lasting.  

Today companies cannot afford to allow themselves to get into ruts in how they solve their business issues and challenges.  Organizations must use their innovation and intelligence capital along with their business knowledge in developing solutions to problems and in making the right decisions.  David S. Goldsmith, founder of DS Goldsmith, states, “We designed our process so it will allow our clients to tap into their best insights, energies, talents, ideas, skills, and creativity to optimize their plans of action, ability to execute them and to engage in follow-up .”
