This diagram illustrates the complexity of problem-solving in real-world situations:
- The title “A more difficult task” implies a challenge beyond simple problem-solving.
- The “Yes or No” option, marked as “EASY,” represents the simplest form of decision-making. This suggests that real-world problems are rarely this straightforward.
- The central question “Which one?” leads to two critical paths: a. “Many (Yes or No)” shows that multiple problems often coexist in real situations. b. “Priority” emphasizes that determining which problem to address first is more crucial than merely solving problems.
- The “Increasing” arrow indicates the growing complexity of issues and the increasing difficulty of decision-making.
- The figure with “More Diff” represents the individual or team facing these complex decision-making scenarios.
This diagram highlights that in real problem-solving processes, identifying and prioritizing the most important issues among many is more critical than simply resolving individual problems. It effectively captures the essence of decision-making and problem-solving in complex, real-world environments, where the challenge often lies in determining what to tackle first rather than in the solutions themselves.
