Problem Solving Services

Dr. Prentiss has created what we feel is a unique method for addressing problems, both personal and professional. This method of problem-solving, which he continues to develop, is based on a convergence of disciplined and imaginative thought and draws on the vast resources of philosophical, artistic, and scientific thinking throughout the ages. Infused with an optimistic view of the possibility of human achievement, a view that is informed by an unflinching and undaunted sensitivity to the obstacles that we all face, Dr. Prentiss’ approach forms the foundation of a number of problem solving services available to companies, agencies, and organizations.

In the previous section we mentioned the seminars and workshops that we offer on Creative Thinking, Critical Thinking, and Strategies for Problem-Solving. In addition to these, we can provide direct consultation in cases where traditional resources have not yielded complete solutions. For example, if the top management of a company find that they face a dilemma as a result of two of the companies central principles conflicting with one another, a dilemma that neither law nor accounting by their very nature are able to resolve, we can approach the dilemma with our own method.

We seek not to replace these other resources but to supplement them, when they fall short. Naturally, we cannot guarantee a foolproof solution any more than top experts in law, accounting, and other areas can guarantee a foolproof solution. What we do guarantee is that, once we agree to examine a problem such as the aforementioned kind of dilemma, then if it is possible to generate a plausible solution, we will generate one.

Again, with our approach to the solving of a wide variety of problems and to training others to be better problem-solvers, we take up where the efforts of honest, competent professionals in these established areas leave off. We have in mind the kinds of problems that defy solutions based on traditional approaches; that is what we mean by the efforts of competent professionals leaving off without generating a solution. Therefore it is our policy only to examine a problem in which the responsible personnel of a potential client have concluded that the experts on whom they ordinarily rely, such as lawyers, accountants, and scientists, will be unable to solve the problem in question by themselves, and that the answer is not to consult additional lawyers, accountants, scientists, and so on.
