Problem Perspectives

The Power of Refining Problem Statements

The skill of using problem perspectives is one of the most important skills you can learn in life. It helps you to see the world in a different way and solve a better problem. So what is this “problem” perspective thing? Well, it’s when we look at our own job, or our clients business, through an outside lens. Instead of just being like “I AM doing marketing”, you look at it as: “my potential customers need to be able to understand why they should buy my product”. And if that is true then I start thinking about how this problem fits into the best solution for them. View the problem from their perspective.

Are you in the business of solving problems? If your answer is yes, then it’s not a coincidence you read this blog. I’m going to show you why your problem perspectives matter, share with you how it’s affecting how you’re solving problems and how to fix it.

When we start solving problems in our careers, whether we realize it or not, we’re positioning ourselves to be successful at our jobs and potentially even at life. One of the areas that benefits from understanding our problems-perspectives is how we approach marketing campaigns and creative briefs.

Are you a Business Owner, Entrepreneurs, Marketer, or something else? Do you know if your business is solving the right problem?

Asking this question using problem perspectives can help you determine what kind of business you should be in and help you avoid wasting time and resources on a bad idea.

Consider your problem perspectives

Here are some questions to ask yourself about your problem perspective:

  • What is the problem that I am trying to solve?
  • How do other people regard this problem? Are they aware of it or unaware?
  • How have others attempted to solve this particular problem before me? Have they succeeded? If so, how did they do it? How did they fail?

If you’re like most people, you have a lot of problems. There’s the problem with your hair, the problem with your job, and the problem with your relationship. But if you’re also like most people, you don’t think about how to solve those problems. How do you take on something as big as solving all of your problems?

It’s easy to get caught up in the daily grind of life—and it’s also easy to get stuck in a rut where all we do is solve one problem at a time. But what if we could see things from different perspectives? What if we could solve our best problems by looking at them through new lenses ie using problem perspectives?

In this course, I’m going to help you develop perspective-taking skills. You can choose how to solve your best problems by reframing your perspective. We’ll learn how to identify what kind of problem perspective might work best for each situation—and how to use that insight when faced with difficult choices or tough times.

I’m going to give you a simple test to determine which perspective is working best for your job and career. The test is easy: just ask yourself one question: What would happen if we solved this problem? Can we make something happen? If your answer is yes, then go ahead and solve it! If your answer is no (or maybe?), then find another way to solve it or ask someone else who can!

Skills for problem perspectives

The most important skill is to solve the right problem, and the best way to do that is being clear about your problem perspective. By keeping these simple considerations in mind as you move through your research, design and development process all other aspects of your work should be clearer and easier.

These steps can solve your best problem with problem perspectives.

  • Pick a problem to solve (Start by picking a problem that you are motivated to solve).
  • Brainstorm solutions (Focus on solutions you could implement yourself without a lot of resources).
  • Evaluate your solutions (Determine which solutions work and which do not).
  • Implement the best solution (Pick the solution that worked and get started on implementing it).

I hope you will learn to know, respect and use the power of perspectives.
