Should I Use Rsbot On My Main?

Telling Problem Telling Policy

What is the difference between shaking the problems and solve them? How politics can really be a tool to solve problems? This post tries to answer these two questions and wants give an indication to policy makers and those who aspire to be elected. He wants to make a suggestion to the next particular presidential candidate of the Board: define well the problems and then learn to turn them into interesting stories, in short stories.

political and ideological issues are masters of it in the abstract and generic, good for all circumstances. And the reason for this is because shake a problem is to prevent a debate. And those who use politics for personal gain and interest lobbying behave this way, however, violating the rules of democracy. These use problems in a "political" understood in its most degraded, politician. They are used in this sense, unemployment, immigration, living wills, etc.. On the other side there is instead the use of politics to solve problems. And in this perspective, the problem is well defined, classified and divided into a series of minor problems. The problem of unemployment means to determine the scope of the political sphere, economic sphere, the sphere of taxation, the sphere of education. And then define the age, the type (expecting their first job or job loss), the area (north, central, south), the sector (industry, services, new technologies), and so on. The policy needs and the methods of optics of problem solving, if he wants to give results and is intended as a service. And he has great need of Telling Problem, which is also similar. Think of a candidate in elections that, in addition to rail against this or that does not share that point of the opponents, says its program in two or three key points, which are the result of listening closely at the real needs of citizens ( problem setting). Let's pretend that in your program there is the creation of resources, tools and best conditions for the development of tourism. Now, this candidate will need to tell a clear and interesting problems resulting from them, developing them with games of imagination. If, for example, tourism can really grow, where we host the many people who come if our accommodations are not sufficient? How do we assure them that all the places to visit are accessible as often or are closed or no staff? Problem setting and problem telling do not solve problems, discover them, define them, they "sell." The setting makes it a solvable problem, the telling makes it interesting.

The problem telling crosses in storytelling, great instrument of power. Narratology has long been used for the organization and maintenance of consensus. It 'obvious that the powerful use in a top-down and in order to influence voters, where there are free elections, or subjects, where there are monarchies or theocracies. But the storytelling as network stories, from below, is also used by those who are opposed to power, make it the subject of satire as Dario For, Luttazzi, etc.. There's a war between the two forms now amplified by Real Time Web Problem Telling take storytelling but is more comprehensive problem-solving, is the threshold issue of history and a ceiling mobile, seamless. As such, it has to deal with the production of stories, it must identify the resources, modalities, etc.. So if a politician wants to talk to people's hearts not so rhetorical and artificial must learn to frame the issues according to a problem-solving and then must be able to tell stories to make it shared.

The three options in L'Aquila

Today Umberto Santucci, consultant and trainer in strategic problem solving, he returned to teach at the Academy in L'Aquila for the first time after the earthquake. Umberto has dedicated a nice situation to the Abruzzi and in particular its capital, early as two weeks from happening, in L'Aquila, hands on the wounded city . He's also much discussed in terms of problem solving in the group Problem Telling on Facebook. In the aftermath of the earthquake I promised that I would follow the updates of the situation to learn the great lesson that this disastrous event (because of men) is providing to all those who want to learn it. So I asked Umber to send me his impressions from the city. Here they are.
Today I did the first lesson of the course at the Academy Image of the Eagle. It 's the first time I go back to L'Aquila after the earthquake. I took a ride into the main course, one of the few ways available. In addition to the great impression of the city deserted, I was struck by small p joints that can be seen in situations seemingly "normal": a crack, a marker to sign, slung around a pillar. Also in the photo of the INPS office seems okay, but missing a piece here and there a balcony and blocks of marble are disconnected.
now facing three options: 1
. make a great ruin leave everything and move elsewhere
2. give everything in the hands of gangs political / Camorra that demolish as possible to rebuild inspired Castel Volturno;
3. as possible to restore the facades to retrieve the face of the city, and rebuild good inside, with innovative criteria.
hypothesis 3 is the most desirable, the second is the most probable, although friends have told me that Aquila is the prefect working hard against the
llo of subcontracts.

far not the to Umberto. If we are the three basic options for any building in the city eagle. And I think the whole series of cases that the government is building from scratch go first point of view, however, because they are buildings of the new development. It 's true that building new houses is cheaper than renovate the existing but it means going into the towns of quake ghost towns. Or for the big events for mafia infiltration to the sites of demolition as well as those of the building. That's why the third point is the most desirable and the most convenient, I believe. The earthquake was an event whose possibility was not taken into account or neglected even though the seismic zone and L'Aquila Abruzzo ground that amplifies the effects of earthquakes. We had clear evidence that the events should prevent problems before they happen by asking the inevitable. Now we need to prevent another disaster socio-economic: the decline of the city and the region. What are the problems in the field? The floor to the next post comments and questions.

Zen and the art of narrating the problems

Encho was a famous storyteller. His tales of love touched everyone who hears them. When telling a war story, it was as if the listeners are right on the battlefield. One day he met Encho Tesshu Yamaoka, a layman who had almost reached the total command Zen. "I heard," said Yamaoka, "that you are the good storytellers of our country and make people laugh and cry at your leisure. Tell me about my favorite story, that of the Child Fishing. When I was little I slept next to my mother, and she often told me that story. In the middle of the story I fell asleep. Tell me how I said my mother. "

Encho did not dare to face this test immediately. He asked for a little 'time to study. After several months went by Yamaoka and said, "Please give me the opportunity to tell the tale."

"Another day," said Yamaoka.

Encho he was very much disappointed. He continued to study and try again. Yamaoka sent him back many times. When Encho began to speak, Yamaoka interrupted him saying, "Do you still like my mother."

Encho took five years to be able to tell the tale as Yamaoka had they told her mother.

This story is taken from Zen fiordacqua and introduces us to the Telling Problem, which is the art of transforming problems narratives in interesting . Many have a problem when they run to tell relatives or friends or close. Others fill their board in Facebook to do it. Still others go on TV to talk about it. Why, they say, when there is a problem we should not keep him inside but express it. The opportunity today to tell the problems are many and really spend much time doing it: about half our time is devoted to discussion of this or that problem at work, at home, with friends. These are sometimes happy to participate in the discussion of one or more problems, but many times or are bothered or do not have time to discuss them. But the recount problems (rather than the listener) or agitation is one of the prominent activities of the media as well as users of the internet.

But really the first thing to do when problems occur is telling the story? The answer is yes and no. Yes, because this helps us to define the problem , which is the first big step to take. No, because most of the time we do not know you tell us about problems, not even really know what they are, we confuse them with conditions or goals or false problems, and more. We then describe the problems as long as you learn to tell . And the talk shows do not help in this, as even, unfortunately, much discussion. Encho, despite being a storyteller, a professional storyteller needs to study, time and evidence before he could tell a story as simple as telling stories of her mother Yamaoka. Mind you that the history issue and the two terms are interchangeable: each story is a problem and every problem has a story. Think of Romeo and Juliet : without the problem of opposition from their families where the marriage would be the story? The problem is telling the art that comes to the rescue at the beginning of our problem to define and present themselves and to others (and less dramatic). But above all, helps us in the end, when our problem, made it interesting at this point, be "sold" to all those who have put money into a project, those who must carry it out, those who must make a decision. And here is the problem telling gives his best practices and providing tools to make our problem something plausible, seductive and convincing. Think of how beautiful, magnificent, seductive not appear the huge wooden horse left by Ulysses on the beach. E 'with it that the Greek siege of Troy solved the problem once and for all.

Emergency Management

How you handle an emergency? How do you address the problems of an emergency such as the earthquake in Italy? What does a problem solver and / or teller a problem in situations like these? I think that a paragraph of the book by Umberto Santucci Make light on key be very clear about it. Therefore, the full report here.

"often precipitated the events so that you do not have time to apply any methodology to define and solve problems. In front of the emergency there is no time to analyze the situation, and it runs immediately to the shelters with buffering action.

Decisions often have to be very fast, and are not intended to assess the options for choosing the best, but just take a road leading out of the crisis.

often goes trial and error, and try to act now effects without going back to their causes, and you can not do otherwise. If someone fell into the water and not swim, the first thing to do is take it out. In a second step we can try to understand why it fell into the water, or you can even teach her to swim. It 'important to remember that they have taken action buffer, and to analyze the situation and the proper definition of the problem.

Otherwise, the emergency will present itself in an increasingly serious, forcing a continuous buffer that refers to the true solution of the problem.

If the emergency persists on time and becomes the norm, of course is no longer an emergency, but a new condition in which one comes to visit. Therefore, ways and times to be redesigned to adapt to the changed situation. Often you are in trouble because it reacts in the same way to situations that have changed. A classic example is the traffic. In large cities, but now also in the countries, there is now more than 30 years, so it's not an emergency, it is normal. But we still think of moving traffic as if there was or was different. If there is traffic we have to change, perhaps going slower (by bicycle) to the first.

Today more and more we are operating in turbulent and complex systems. If we decide and act only when we possess all the necessary information we would be paralyzed. Tom Peters proposes to act quickly at the cost of making mistakes, and become able to manage and overcome the error. It 's the concept of management failure, which Peters summed up in three words: fail, forward, fast . Wrong, go ahead, quickly.

Often those who work in organizations does the opposite. For fear of making mistakes and does not decide anything. But then things become so urgent and often ungovernable ".

I think that the words of Umberto allow us some quick and useful information:

1. remember that you are plugging a situation and then return as soon as possible to make definitive interventions and structural
2. earthquakes in Italy should no longer be considered emergencies, but normal: almost all of Italy is at risk from earthquakes ;
3. if Gianpaolo Giuliani researcher forecasts are not reliable at 100% you still listen to him in the face of certain phenomena or not to wait to have all the information can make a difference. As a good

Problem Teller Abruzzo friends and all those who care about their fate I promise I'll be back on the subject. The we have to do for the good of all. To understand sometimes. To learn how to listen to nature: even the tsunami victims in Asia could do less if they had listened to the signs. A problem solver and a problem-teller always have all the antennas are well-pricked and always listening. We hope not to attend story hour at the usual boring aid and reconstruction that are missing when you turn off the lights. But instead of assisting so many good stories (problems) to tell.

Meanwhile some links to follow the latest news from Abruzzo:

How Long Before My Vacation Should I Wax

Telling What is the Problem?

The problem telling is the art of identifying, organizing and narrating problems good and interesting. It 's the next step to problem setting and concerns the sale of the issue to the stakeholders, namely those to make decisions or have to finance a particular project. It benefits of reducing complexity and imagination developed through the ' improvisational theater. It has to its basis the 'meaningful learning .

The problem telling is an art and therefore not a science. Like all the arts, therefore, uses a set of tools to get to do a 'work', a project. In this case, the "artifact" that we can determine not only the solution to this or that problem, but it's a lifestyle . In this new lifestyle, the emphasis is on the narrative of good and interesting problems. A salesperson, for example, by telling the problem may stop selling a particular product and can begin with more profit and satisfaction, wondering which of his problems Customers want to deal with. A pool of a project rather than groped to sell the project may tell one or more interesting problems that want to tackle. In many presentations of companies and organizations, as noted by
Umberto Santucci, we put great emphasis on the achievements that do not really affect anyone. Much more interesting to a potential customer to know what problems faced this or that company and what they did to solve them. Even more interesting is to know what problems a particular company or association or institution or a group of people wants to create to the people you enter into relationship. We plan to provide an excellent article and put it on sale in our store. Imagine having so much success that people want to get them to come on Sundays at our shop. If we are alone in the shop we would need staff to keep open on Sunday. If we find a solution and assume we are doing at least one person telling problem. If we decide to remain closed on Sundays and begin to think that staff costs are falling into boredom and bad management.

Before making fundamental problem telling you clearly define our problem and this deals with the problem setting . Once defined, we can deal with the narrative of our problem to those who must decide or put the money or the customers of our "problem." The advice is to start from these people at this time. Making good problem also means telling significantly learn and be open to the feelings, rights, needs and aspirations of human beings. E 'in these circumstances that leverage to communicate our big problem. And 'the people's hearts that we should speak and we can only do this if we are sincere and above all rich in imagination, creativity and interactivity. If we start from the stimuli and the aspirations of the people and give them the opportunity to cultivate problem telling we are doing. We need the games then, representations, languages: drama, film, photography, painting, art. Of all the recreational activities one that can help considerably to the problem is the teller ' theatrical improvisation, as reformulated in Canada by Keith Johnstone . This is, in fact, no more than an improvisation designed to prepare a show, but that is itself show.

How Long Can Gingerbread Last For

Artists problems

Common sense says that a problem is a kind of misfortune, bad luck, almost a disaster. When someone says that there is a problem we take it as something that should not be there, everything had to spin smoothly. For common sense in practice is something goes wrong . It 's like a drawer in the closet and we're putting a nail or whatever prevents us from doing so. It 's like we are making a pot and turned our vessel comes out deformed. Yet sometimes we hear about the problems of those who have so much money, for example, or who has a happy life with a friend: problems when things go well. And in this other occasion exclaim: I wish I had those problems! Here comes in another sense of problem as a result of a state or condition or action. The problem ceases to be a block, something that clogs the water pump when water the plants and becomes something or be held to deal with, arrived in a certain situation. If I go to collect a large sum of money to transport it safely will be my problem, though, unlike before I gladly accept.

But the problem is even more. It 's something more positive. What we often see a problem is just the tip of the iceberg. The problem is actually an opportunity disguised , as Paul Hawken says . Consider, for example, to major financial crises such as that of 2008-2009, and as those of the past: the oil crisis of 1973, for example, or the Great Depression of 1929. These crises as others because they allow an opportunity to abandon wrong or evil habits and mechanisms and to make smarter choices and appropriate to the times and situation. "The problem is something that can be solved first, or you can" writes Umberto Santucci . And again: "The problem is heuristic structure that instructs a search process with the aim of reaching a solution." And so did the problem, found the solution so to speak. A real problem is something that contains within itself the solution. With Aristotle we might say that the problem is potentially the solution and the solution is the problem in place. Every problem contains within itself the solution, as the blocks of marble for Michelangelo's statue already contained that he would pull out, free. The problems are our beautiful block of Carrara marble waiting there in front of us that we treat them with our art. It is we who face the problems the true artists of today!
