Solutions creative

Resolving differences What is best for one department or group won t necessarily be best for others. Out of these differences can come creative solutions when the situation is handled properly. Skill in resolving differences is an important quality of successful project managers. 

After all this action, if nothing satisfactory occurs, rather than give up look for that really creative solution because it is out there. You may be too close to the problem. Get away from the trees and look at the forest. Climb up one of the trees and look at things from a different perspective. 

This is a limiting belief, and should not be adhered to. If we only seek out mentors of the same race and gender, we limit ourselves to a narrow perspective. The basis of a mentoring relationship is to learn, and mentees cannot fully appreciate the diversity of life and work if they solely seek out opinions similar to their own. A mentor should aim to challenge and stimulate the mind of mentees, and mentees should be hungry for new ideas and creative solutions.

Litigation is not always the only or best way to resolve conflicts. Mediation offers an alternative approach and it is one that can be quite efficient and successful. Mediation can be faster, less expensive, and can lead to creative solutions not always possible in a court of law. Additionally, mediation focuses on mutually acceptable solutions, rather than on winning or losing. 

In many cases, allenes are used as creative solutions to problems encountered using more saturated counterparts. This is the situation in Chevliakov and Montgomery s approach to (-)-a-kainic acid (131) [31]. They reported a late-stage common intermediate 132 that could be taken on to both (-)-a-kainic acid (131) and (+)-a-allokainic acid (133) (Scheme 19.25). Intermediate 132 was to be obtained from enyne 134. Indeed, treatment of 134 to conditions developed in their laboratories afforded the desired carboannulation to give 135. However, this pyrrole could only be taken on to (+)-a-allokainic acid (133) owing to reduction of the olefin affording... 

Cathodic cyclization reactions have supphed and continue to provide a fertile territory for the development and exploration of new reactions and the determination of reaction mechanism. Two areas that appear to merit additional exploration include the application of existing methodology to the synthesis of natural products, and, more significantly, a systematic assessment of the factors associated with the control of both relative and absolute stereochemistry. Until there is a solid foundation to which the non-electrochemist can confidently turn in evaluating the prospects for stereochemical control, it seems somewhat unlikely that electrochemically-based methods will see widespread use in organic synthesis. Fortunately, this comment can be viewed as a challenge and as a problem simply awaiting creative solution. 

The literature on creativity includes analytical description of the components of creative experience, the personal characteristics of creative individuals, and the distinguishing features of creative solutions. From the participants reports, it was possible to extract eleven strategies of enhanced functioning during the session. The relationship of these strategies to enhanced functioning should be self-explanatory. Those readers interested in the relationship of these aspects to current research and theory on creativity can refer to the detailed technical discussion in Harman, McKim et al. (1966). 

On the other hand, a steady decline in fuel oil consumption in different regions has been reported (5, 6). Increasing supply, combined with decreasing demand for oil, challenges the refineries to investigate creative solutions to the resid problem. The main objective is to convert the heavy resid to desirable transportation fuels.

Despite the relative immaturity of this field, however, the ability of organic thin-film transistors to form a usable backplane is indubitable. The question of who will succeed in tackling the remaining issues, and with what sort of creative solutions, remains to be seen. 

We also discussed people being left out of the loop and what to do about it when this becomes a problem. In one person s experience, a man s unwillingness to include her in the loop was deemed her problem rather than his she was counseled by male colleagues—who were otherwise very supportive of her—that in order to keep the peace in the group she was going to have to learn to live with it. I wonder whether a more creative solution to the problem might have been developed if her boss had been a woman. 

The prevailing wisdom is that many barriers stand in the way of chemical companies when they try to create the kind of focused organization that can capture the industry s value potential. Barriers certainly exist, but they are lower than many beheve, and they are crumbling. Creative solutions can dismantle them quite painlessly. 

A significant hurdle in the development of a Diels-Alderase catalytic antibody was minimizing product inhibition, because based on the Curtin-Hammett principle, the transition state is markedly similar to the product of a Diels-Alder reaction. A creative solution to this problem was employed in the development of antibody 1E9 (Fig. 10) (79). The cndo-hexachloronorbomene... 

In the Economic and Philosophical Manuscripts a similar contrast is drawn between the stereotyped constructions carried out by animals and the general capacity for free construction found in man. I argue below, with respect to tools, that these oppositions appear to be artificial. Animals have the ability to construct according to (or otherwise relate to) "images" of what is spatially and temporally remote. They also have the ability to invent creative solutions to novel problems. 

As more and more companies implement the tenets of biomimicry, examples of innovative waste sharing and product take-back programs bare the actions of the first adaptors. Considering waste as a resource opens possibilities for entrepreneurial opportunities and creative solutions. Excess steam can be used for district heating, waste citric acid can be used for wastewater treatment buffers, and plastics that decompose in the compost pile can be used for organic matter. There are many other examples in which nature-based technology and cooperation have reduced industrial waste streams. By repeatedly asking, Who wants what you don t... 

The selection of an appropriate mobile phase is another aspect of concern. Most often the commonly used LC mobile phase is not compatible with thermospray LC/MS, for instance owing to the use of non-volatile buffers can be left out or replaced by volatile ones. In other cases the buffers are present for retention time reproducibility, which mostly is not very important for identification. In other applications however a correspondence between UV or fluorescence peaks and MS identification is obligatory, which makes mobile phase changes unattractive. In this respect it is often overlooked that LC-UV and LC/MS give different responses as a result of different detection principles. For not too complex samples a UV photo-diode array detector can be used to link up the chromatographic peaks obtained under different mobile phase conditions. To cut short, despite many successes also many potential problems are met in LC/MS to which tailor-made creative solutions are needed. 

One creative solution to the slowgrowing peyote problem is to graft the top of a peyote plant to a nature column of San Pedro. Although I have not tried this myself, a correspondent describes the technique ... 

We believe that writing is a mix of talent and technique. We can teach you the technique and provide exercises to elicit creative solutions to writing problems, but in the end, it is your unique voice that will make your film story different from every other film story.
