Managers are faced with many problem solving exercises in their day-to-day tasks. However, problem solving in management is only half of the story. Successful organisations need managers who can improve upon aspects of the business where no problem is apparent. Creativity, innovation, lateral thinking and problem solving go hand in hand.
