Lightbulb Understanding the Process (book chapter 3 on problem solving)

Hello!

Hope everyone is staying warm, because it's darned cold in Georgia right now. I just completed chapter 3 of my book on problem solving. This chapter is titled "Understanding the Process" and it covers exactly what you'd expect it to. I would love to hear your wise feedback and guidance.

Warm regards,
Craig

Craig,

My progress has been very slow. Not because it's a difficult topic, but because I got tired of writing. I think I've got some momentum now, though. Hopefully by the middle of 2009 it will be ready. Thanks for taking a look at the chapter. I'm also going to try to weave a case study throughout the book, illustrating each of the problem solving steps in action.

Craig C.

As usual, another good start from your expertise Craig. It looks good. The case studies, what specifically are you asking for here?

Corey,

Thanks for taking a look at it, my friend. The case studies are something I will have to develop. What I had in mind was showing the application of the problem solving method with a real problem. As you know, the concepts sink in much deeper when they have actual examples attached to each one.

Craig

Craig,

Thats really good! I'm pretty new to this site and can't find your other draft chapters. Any chance of a point in the right direction?
