To derive a problem from mess you much extract the problems from a given mess. The defining problem to be solved is a critical step in the process. Well-structured problems are those that are clear, have obvious assumptions, have data that is readily available and the logical structure is well understood. On the other hand, ill-structured problems require exploration more than solution and the objective, assumption data and structure of the problem are all unclear.
In the problem solving process there are two different styles of thinking: Divergent thinking stresses the generation of ideas over evaluating ideas. It involves searching for a variety of answers to questions. On the contrary, convergent thinking is geared toward achieving a single goal. It involves trying to find the one best answer.
I use convergent thinking all the time when I have a paper to write and get writers’ block.
