Problem Solving 101: A Simple Book for Smart People
Ken Watanabe originally wrote Problem Solving 101 for Japanese schoolchildren. His goal was to help shift the focus in Japanese education from memorization to critical thinking, by adapting some of the techniques he had learned as an elite McKinsey consultant.
He was amazed to discover that adults were hungry for his fun and easy guide to problem solving and decision making. The book became a surprise Japanese bestseller, with more than 370,000 in print after six months. Now American businesspeople can also use it to master some powerful skills.
Watanabe uses sample scenarios to illustrate his techniques, which include logic trees and matrixes. A rock band figures out how to drive up concert attendance. An aspiring animator budgets for a new computer purchase. Students decide which high school they will attend.
Illustrated with diagrams and quirky drawings, the book is simple enough for a middleschooler to understand but sophisticated enough for business leaders to apply to their most challenging problems.

His response to the prime minister's calling is to quit his consulting job to teach kids and write Problem Solving 101. Fortunately, the business community also paid attention to the content of Mr. Watanabe's book and did not get hung up on the childlike presentation, which I believe actually makes it more powerful. Eventually, Problem Solving 101 became Japan's number one best-selling business book in 2007.
I stumbled on Problem Solving 101 in a bookstore when browsing but did not purchase it. A few days later I went back to look at one of the diagrams in the book as I thought it would be a useful process for something I was working on. However I still did not buy the book as it... read more
