Reframing is a problem solving technique that involves viewing difficult situations from a different perspective in order to find positive opportunities. It improves innovation, creativity, and emotional intelligence. Reframing forces creative thinking to find breakthrough solutions by asking what opportunities a problem presents rather than just trying to make the problem go away. It involves viewing problems as chances to implement needed changes. Examples include how IBM's founder and a psychoanalyst positively reframed challenges.

PROBLEM REFRAMING
- 2. What is Reframing? • Reframing is a critical tool for promoting innovation and creativity in the workplace and it is very effective for problem solving. • Senior leaders and operational managers who use this tool also improve their own emotional intelligence as they “smartly” manage their own emotions and the emotions of others to effect meaningful change.
- 3. Reframing • Taking what appears to be a difficult situation and finding something positive to make out of it. • You put another frame (perspective) on the situation you face. • You look for other ways to view your situation.
- 4. Impact of Reframing • The power of reframing is that it forces you to harness your creative and innovative thinking to achieve breakthrough solutions. It is original, out-of-the-box thinking! • When you use positive reframing, you view problems differently. Instead of first exploring how to get the problem to go away, you first ask yourself, What is the opportunity here? • Breakthrough thinking begins when you view problems as opportunities. • Problems are often your chance to make needed changes whether they occur in your life or in the workplace.
- 5. Two Examples of Reframing • The first is about Tom Watson, the founder of IBM. • The second example of reframing is about the psychoanalyst, Milton Erickson.
- 6. Common organizational thinking • Budget cuts • Attrition • Motivation • Attitudes
