An indispensable guide to the adventure of problem solving, with practical insights from the worlds of business, government, science, medicine, law, and the arts.

Drawing from his practical expertise in information management, Chris Hoenig offers a hands-on guide to the art and science of problem solving-featuring examples of successful problem solvers such as Colin Powell and Lou Gerstner, and leading organizations as diverse as VISA, the Orpheus Chamber Orchestra, and NASA. Using a wide variety of diagnostics, self-assessment tools, and other interactive elements, Hoenig helps you identify your own problem-solving profile and navigate the six dimensions of the problem-solving journey, from "creating the mindset" to "delivering the results." For executives and entrepreneurs, front-line supervisors and project leaders, The Problem Solving Journey will be an indispensable resource.

"Hoenig's unblinking curiosity about the thinking process has produced one of the most original and useful business books of the year. What keeps us coming back to this serious and analytical work is his uncanny gift of making a quote or a vignette into a window—with something always happening on the other side that makes the elusive magic of problem solving a grand and systematic process." —Naomi Seligman, Founder, The Research Board "Chris Hoenig has cracked the code on how professionals can solve problems faster, cheaper and better, using technology as an ally rather than a crutch. This book not only changes the way we navigate complex problems, it changes how we think about navigating those problems." —Tim McClure, Co-founder, GSD&M Advertising
"One doesn't usually describe a professional book as a ‘page-turner,’ but that fittingly describes Chris Hoenig's The Problem Solving Journey.

It's as much a guide book for life as it is an instruction manual for professional success." —Dr. Alan B.
