When you need to discover what works at work, 'The Solutions Focus' offers a powerful yet subtle way to positive change. It takes you beyond outmoded ideas, replacing over-complicated theories and methods with a dynamic, intensely practical approach that provides the positive outcomes organizations crave, along with fresh learning every time.
The authors show you how to identify what is working in your team or organisation and amplify it to make useful changes; to focus on what is possible rather than what is intractable and how to be solution focused, not solution forced. While the method and scope are wide-ranging and comprehensive, the basic principles are simple: identify what works and do more of it - stop doing what doesn't work and do something different.
The trouble with traditional approaches to people problems is that they assume a straightforward relationship between cause and effect, between a problem and its solution. Now there is a revolutionary yet practical alternative - the solution-focused approach which sidesteps the search for the causes of the trouble and heads straight for the solution, showing you how to envisage your desired future and move swiftly towards it.
