Let me now share a more personal anecdote : I was 2 weeks ago in Moscow Aviation Institute to train Russian aerospace and shipbuilding engineers to the Value s method. I read the HBR article presented here in the airport before on boarding, and decided to later write this post.
All this reminded him of a MAI professor 20 years ago, who told them to take care before starting to design anything, and used a nice example he never forgot : « the slow elevator problem »!!! After all, Russians also launched the first sputnik, the first dog in space, the first man in space! Very nice experience for me! Site web.

The point of reframing is not to find the "real" problem but, rather, to see if there is a better problem to solve. The author outlines seven practices for effective reframing: 1 Establish legitimacy. If you'd like to share this PDF, you can purchase copyright permissions by increasing the quantity.

By Douglas Squirrel ,. The drive toward solutions is very strong. So that basic idea of taking that approach to problems can often help you move forward in a different way than just like, oh, I have a solution. Kind if like, no, no, no, no, no, no. That solution is not going to work in my world. Whereas if you get them to discuss and analyze what the problem really is, you might actually dig something up. Well, risk is bad. Oh yeah, maybe I actually am part of creating this problem in a sense, as well.
That tends to open some new doors for you to move forward, in a way, with stuff that you may have been struggling with for years. What are the questions that people seem to find really useful? So was there day where your kitchen was actually spotlessly clean? And then asking, what was different about that day? That might have other problems. Another good question, and this is a little bit more high level. And what I mean with that is, we have problem categories in our head.
I think we need to put more marketing dollars into this. Is there a different way of thinking about that? Because you can almost tell how, when the second you say communications, there are some ideas about how do you solve a communications problem. Typically with more communication. And what you might do is go in and suggest, well, have you considered that it might be, say, an incentive problem?
Are there incentives on behalf of the purchasing manager at your clients that are obstructing you? Might there be incentive issues with your own sales force that makes them want to sell the old product instead of the new one?
So literally, just identifying what type of problem does this person think about, and is there different potential way of thinking about it? Might it be an emotional problem, a timing problem, an expectations management problem?
Thinking about what label of what type of problem that person is kind of thinking as it of. So maybe the next time that happens, instead of muddying my way through, I will just ask some of those questions that we talked about instead.
I know you do this professionally, but is there a problem in your life that thinking this way has helped you solve? But in one case, when I was younger, I often kind of struggled a little bit. I mean, this is my teenage years, kind of hanging out with my parents.
