Ever had a problem that seemed too hard to solve?
POOCH is an acronym for a model to assist in problem solving and decision making.
Being a ‘visual’ person, seeing it written down helps me to make sense of the problem.
I have used this on many occasions and have recommended it to others who have found it to be a very useful tool.
Here is how it works:
P – PROBLEM – what is the problem?
O – OPTIONS – what can you do? (include every possible scenario)
O – OUTCOMES – what will happen if you act on that option?
C – CHOICE – what have you decided?
H – HOW – how are you going to do it? How did it go?
Rate each of your options and outcomes with a face – smiling / frowning / or neutral.
This will help you to sort out and identify the a likely way forward.
POOCH can really give you clarity, help organise your thoughts, and bring you peace of mind.
