Designing Solutions for Your Business Problems
The concepts of plausibility and intended and unintended consequences in designing solutions for organizational problems.
After coming up with ideas to solve organizational issues via plausibility, there is a need to create possible alternatives. The logical thing after generating ideas would be to categorize the ideas and evaluate them along several aspects such as: what makes an idea the best solution to the current problem; what elements are missing in a solution and could be added to make it more effective; and what has to be done to actualize the idea. The idea may sound interesting and may appear as the best way to solve the problem. However, in designing solutions for organizational problems, researchers must take into account the significance of plausibility. This is because the proposed solutions will likely have both intended and unintended consequences. There are different ways of coming up with plausible solutions. One of the ways is through forming structural designs. Structural designs are those based on values, hierarchical level, sex, age and so on. Through approaching organizational problems with structural design solutions, a researcher increases the likelihood of correctly identifying and defining the problem issue and forming more accurate solutions to the identified...
A plausible strategy tolerates the lack of certainty and does not presume a narrow linear projection of change, instead, it accepts complexity. For organizations to be successful at adopting plausible strategies that can work, they should have transformational leaders. Such leaders can make sure that the organizations look at both the intended and the unintended consequences. Any organization lacking transformational leadership will have problems. The leader might blame the problems on the lack of collaboration or motivation; however, the underlying cause would be the lack of transformational leadership (Vandenbosch, n.d).
The need to identify and evaluate intended and unintended consequences in designing solutions
When designing solutions to organizational problems, researchers might try to come up with ways of solving the lack of collaboration, lack of motivation or even the lack of commitment from the employees, however, solving these might not solve the real problem. In the case that the problem is not solved,…
