What is the Adaptive Challenge Approach? It is a way to help us approach difficult problems that have no direct path to resolution. This approach is all about gathering the best knowledge available, in order to learn and understand what we are dealing with. Search for past experiences and practices, in order to get ideas for the best possible way to navigate. Then, combine this knowledge and those past experiences to make small strides towards the best possible outcome.
So, when life throws us a difficult challenge, one that does not have a straightforward solution, this approach will likely be the best that we can do. Over the years, I have learned to use this approach as a way to truly do my best in those difficult situations. One really good thing about the Adaptive Challenge Approach is that it helps reduce anxiety and worries by simply knowing that we are making the best decision possible.
