Self-Assessment Tool for Group Problem Solving
Print this form out and rate your group's current problem solving ability. Select only one of the three rating columns (Strong Point - this is a strength for your group - identify why; Okay As Is - Your team does alright in this area, but you wouldn't consider it a strength; Needs Work - Your team or group does not handle this area well, and needs to work on specific areas - identify them)

Take an objective look at the results. Where do you stand? What areas show strengths? What areas need work? Write in those specific strengths and weaknesses as you see them. Are you involved in current projects requiring greater skills and abilities in certain problem solving and decision making areas? Are you in a place where you can incorporate the 8-Steps to Solutions? Share this information with your leadership, and your team.
