Group problem solving techniques can be useful even if they are rarely used with a group. The principles involved can help identify problems earlier and lessen any tendency to put off solving them; and one becomes willing to tackle more difficult, complex problems. In the corporate environment, these techniques are often used as communication aids among groups in place of more traditional meetings. They can be much more effective for problem interface situations where groups are in conflict, or else just talk a different language. Such techniques are described in this paper.
