1. Have a group goal. 2. Begin a fact finding mission. What do we know? What would we like to know? What resources might help us? 3. Problem finding. What are the problems that we may come across in achieving our goal? It may help to rank them; (a) What is the most important problem __________________________________ (b) Next important __________________________________ (c) Next __________________________________ Now restate the most important problem: __________________________________ 3. Idea finding. Brainstorm all possible ways to solve the problem. Accept all ideas no matter how imaginative they are. Go back and circle your best ones. 4. Solution finding. How will we judge our ideas? What criteria will we use? (Eg. A= good, B= fair, C= poor.) A grid may help; Idea A B C       The ideas with the highest scores are the ones to try. 5. Acceptance finding. How will we put our plan into action? What steps will we follow? Who might help us? What problems might be watched for? How might we overcome them?
