4 Types of Problems

① Known, solution requires just action

Most of the problems in life stem from one cause: we can't get ourselves to take action. It's not that we don't know what to do. The problem is getting ourselves to follow through, overcome procrastination and resistance to change and just do it. Can be solved by adopting the right mindset and self-motivation.

② Known, solution requires additional expertise

Requires for its solution a deeper insight to discover the route cause of the problem, or a better technique for handling information, or additional skills, or different attitude. Can be solved by holistic, vertical and systematic thinking.

③ Known, solution requires new approaches, reframing, and creative thinking

Requires no new information but reframing or rearrangement of information already available: an insight restructuring and questioning. This type of problems requires changing perceptual positions as well as holistic, lateral and outside-the-box thinking for their solution. The best approach is turning problems to opportunities.

④ Unknown, need to be identified
The problem is to realize that there is a problem, that things can be improved and define this realization as a problem. Dealing with this type of hidden problems requires challenging assumptions, asking “Why?” and “What if?” questions, benchmarking, and cross-pollination of ideas.
