and decision making:
Managing by Exception

Adaptability is not imitation.
It means power of
resistance and assimilation.

Mahatma Gandhi,
Indian 1869 - 1948

Additional adaptive techniques to problem solving

Managing by exception
Work on those matters that are critical to you, and leave matters to others that are not.  Strategizing and prioritizing

Example:  You tutor a child in math.  You become aware that the family situation is troubled, but you haven't the skills to help.  You inform the case manager for their action, but continue to focus on the supporting the child with his/her homework
