SOLUTIONS FOCUSED
Ability to deliver, in context, a specific solution or innovation by defining and describing the problem as well as an architecture of a system, starting with and possibly encompassing the description of an entire system or limited only to its specific parts
Solution-focused approaches significantly impact a leader's Character, Competence, and Capacity, fostering both intrinsic and extrinsic development, with diverse levels of impact. Intrinsically, it enhances Character most at the Proficient level by cultivating responsibility and persistence in problem-solving. Intrinsic Competence is most developed at the Advanced level through creative problem-solving and design thinking. In contrast, inherent Capacity reaches its peak impact at the Expert level due to the mental endurance required for pioneering solutions. Extrinsically, Competence sees its most significant impact at the Advanced level through applied design thinking and innovation. In contrast, Capacity and Character demonstration are most affected at the Expert level, guiding large-scale solutions with integrity.
Design Innovations
Ability to integrate knowledge across domains, take risks, and embrace contradictions, in the process of ideation and development, to formulate alternative solutions and innovations
Design Thinking
Uses an iterative process of prototyping to build knowledge, testing and validate concepts and proposed methods and approaches to develop solutions
Operations Research
Clarifies and frames systems in its distinct characteristics of linearity, nonlinearity, dynamic, self-organizing, evolutionary, diverse, Application of a systems orientation toward decision support through the scientific methods of observation, problem definition, hypothesis formulation, experimentation and verification of results, to achieve proposed interventions for continuous improvement and efficiency uniform relationships in a way that lends itself to a practical description of the complex system
Critical Thinking
Ability to logically assess the quality of one’s thinking and the thinking of others to consistently arrive at greater understanding and achieve broad perspectives while employing performance standards that determine critical cause–effect relationships, in order to provide advice and offer solutions to improve operational decision-making
