How to Solve Group Planning in ISSB?
ISSB, or the Inter Services Selection Board, is an organization in Pakistan responsible for selecting candidates for officer commissions in the armed forces. Group Planning is a component of the ISSB assessment process where candidates are required to plan and solve problems in a group setting.
During the Group Planning exercise, a group of candidates is given a hypothetical scenario and tasked with devising a plan to address the situation within a specified time limit. The scenario could be related to a military operation, a humanitarian crisis, or any other complex situation that requires a group to work together and solve problems.
The group is required to discuss the scenario and come up with a plan of action that addresses the problem at hand. The plan should take into consideration the available resources, potential obstacles, and the strengths and weaknesses of the group members.
The group is then required to present their plan to the assessors, who will evaluate the effectiveness of the plan and the group’s ability to work together.
To perform well in the Group Planning exercise, candidates should focus on effective communication, active listening, and collaboration. They should also be able to think critically and creatively to come up with innovative solutions to complex problems.
Additionally, candidates should demonstrate leadership skills by encouraging participation from all group members and ensuring that everyone’s ideas are considered.
