A Solution Without A Problem
Our job is to solve problems, alleviate pain, and bring about meaningful change and lasting solutions. We can only do this if we know what problem(s) we’re solving for.
Here’s a short list of business problems:
Accountability
Isolation (Entrepreneurial/Executive)
Validation
Sounding-board
Strategy
Sales
Awareness
Status
Research
Recruiting
Planning
Creative ideation
Security
Infrastructure
Leadership
Capital
Liquidity
Information
Execution
Connections/Relationships
Some problems are urgent, some existential, some perpetual, others finite. Some are symptoms, others are root causes. Some are costlier, others relatively uncomplicated, and everything in between.
We must be careful not to create solutions where no problem exists; otherwise, we become solution peddlers racing our way to the bottom.
