Duncan Stewart, Deloitte Canada's research director, points out
the obvious problem with that analysis — that slight growth at this stage in the game is not really a good thing:
The typology includes logical
problems, algorithmic
problems, story
problems (which have underlying algorithms
with a story wrapper that amounts to an algorithmic
problem), rule - using
problems, decision - making
problems (e.g., cost - benefit
analysis), troubleshooting (systematically diagnosing a fault and eliminating a
problem space), diagnosis - solution
problems (characteristic of medical school and involving small groups understanding the
problem, researching different possible causes, generating hypotheses, performing diagnostic tests, and monitoring a treatment to restore a goal state), strategic performance, case
analysis (characteristic of law or business school and involving adapting tactics to support an overall strategy and reflecting on authentic situations), design
problems, and dilemmas (such as global warming, which are complex and involve competing values and which may have no
obvious solutions).
