Overview
Problem solving involves identifying and overcoming obstacles to achieve a goal. It can be applied to a wide range of fields, including business, technology, and social sciences. Problem solving can be classified into different types, including simple problem solving and complex problem solving, as well as well-defined and ill-defined problems. Cognitive bias refers to the systematic errors in thinking and decision making, whereas heuristics refer to the mental shortcuts that people use to make decisions. Artificial intelligence and machine learning can be used to automate and optimize problem solving. Data science and analytics can also be used to optimize problem solving.
