Solve the Problem

Different problems require different kinds of solutions.

Some require understanding. Some require direction. Some require capability. Many require a combination.

Choosing the Right Solution

We categorize solutions by the problem they solve.

Understanding

Insights

When the primary problem is uncertainty, the solution is insight.

Insights improve understanding by revealing patterns, relationships, opportunities, risks, and other information that matters.

Direction

Decisions

When the primary problem is determining what should happen next, the solution is a decision.

Decisions establish direction by choosing priorities, committing to actions, and determining the path forward.

Capability

Systems

When the primary problem is repeatedly performing useful work, the solution is a system.

Systems create capability by turning useful approaches into repeatable, reliable ways of producing value.

Many Problems Require Stepwise Solutions

Some problems can be solved with a single insight, decision, or system. Many require a sequence of solutions that build on one another.

Research

Problem

A large amount of information exists, but understanding is limited.

Insight

Develop structured understanding.

Strategy

Problem

Multiple directions appear possible.

Insight

Understand opportunities and constraints.

Decision

Determine strategic direction.

Product Discovery

Problem

A promising opportunity exists, but implementation remains uncertain.

Insight

Understand customer needs.

Decision

Determine what should be built.

System

Develop the product.

Operational Improvement

Problem

A recurring process consumes significant manual effort.

Insight

Identify where time and effort are being lost.

Decision

Determine what should remain human-led, become AI-assisted, or be automated.

System

Build a workflow that performs the work repeatedly.
