Most of us are used to the acronym S.M.A.R.T as S - Specific, M - Measurable, A - Attainable, R - Realistic and T - Timely, as they're related to goal setting. Let’s also briefly explore their relevance in problem solving.
S – Specific:
A Consultant once said; if there is one word that constitutes why most organisations don't grow, it is Meetings. Most of our meetings constitutes discussing general problems, not specific once. And most times too, it is either we don't proffer solutions or don't implement them. Until problems are specifically diagnosed and solved, there's a waiting trouble around the corner.
M – Measurable:
Measure/weigh the potential Impact of the problems diagnosed and prioritise solutions through a scale of preference (their order of urgency and importance).
A – Attainable:
We make the greatest mistakes most times when we assume our solutions to problems will work. Don't put all your eggs in one basket. Test solutions. Don't go to sleep because you feel you have the right solution.
R – Realistic:
Be sure your solutions are Realistic, will produce desire result and are flexible with respect to market demands.
T – Timely:
Finally, implement solutions at a suitable time. In project management, time is considered a core knowledge area because of it's level of importance.
