*Ed Marx, Vanderbilt University Medical Center 

Keywords: problem solving, communication, framing problems, organizing

As Charles Kettering said, "A problem well stated is a problem half solved." However, in today's fast-paced environment we often hear about a problem and everyone rushes in to try to solve in. In this presentation, you will learn how to better solve problems by taking time to structure your thinking and problem solving approach. You will learn how "going slow" in the beginning will result in a better, more creative solution in a faster time. Throughout the discuss will bring in real world examples of how this process has been used to deliver outstanding results.
