As a social entrepreneur, you want to do good. You want to change the world and help people find success, fulfillment and happiness. You want to solve problems that matter! Most nonprofits fail because they didn’t solve the right problem. They were trying to win hearts when they should have been working on minds and using their talents to achieve something unique.
Did you ever start a project, only to realize you were solving the wrong problem? In some cases, it can be as simple as rethinking your goals. But it is not necessarily easy to see the disconnect between what you were trying to accomplish, and how much time and money you could have saved if only you thought differently. If this happens to you, there are ways that you can learn from your mistakes and build a better solution for yourself in the future.
Social entrepreneurs are always looking for new ways to solve problems. When it comes to social enterprises, the problem can be very complicated and nuanced, which can make it difficult to figure out what exactly it is that needs to be solved.
Social entrepreneurs are passionate about helping people. They have a desire to make a difference in the world and often have great ideas for how to do so. However, there is often more than one way to solve a problem.
In social entrepreneurship, there are two main ways to solve problems:
-Focus on your own perspective: You can solve your best problem by focusing on it and solving it just for you. This may mean changing the way you think about something or focusing on one aspect of the problem that is less obvious than others.
-Focus on your customers’ perspective: You can also solve your best problem by focusing on what your customers want and need. This may mean creating an entirely new product or service based on what they want or need.
It’s easy to get bogged down by a problem. But what if you could fix it?
That’s exactly what Problem Perspectives: Solve Your Best Problem! is here for—to help you refine your problem statement so that you can find the best solution to your problem.
Problem Perspectives is a course on problem-solving techniques that will help you understand the power of perspective and how to use it to your advantage.
You’ll learn how to apply the “power of perspective” to solving your best problems, and you’ll learn how to see the big picture and make good choices on a variety of topics. You’ll also learn how to use the “power of perspective” to solve difficult problems in your life.
You’ll get real-life examples with step-by-step explanations so that you can practice what you learn.
In this course, we’ll be talking about problem perspectives.
The first thing we want to do is make sure you understand the problem perspective—and why it’s important.
You see, there are two different kinds of problems: problems and issues.
A problem is something that we can’t ignore or get around—a loss of revenue or legal action from a client would be an example.
An issue on the other hand is just a concern that needs to be resolved in some way (like how to increase sales) but isn’t necessarily critical to the business as a whole. So for example, if you run out of product and can’t get more in time for your next sale, that’s an issue since it simply needs to be resolved before you can move forward with your business plan.
But what happens when these issues become too big? What happens when they start taking up too much time and resources? That’s where problem perspectives come in! Problem perspectives are used by organizations so they can solve their biggest problems first before moving onto others. This way they can avoid wasting their time and money by focusing on them first instead of letting them grow until they become too big for the company.
This course will help you learn how to solve your best problem in order to come up with better solutions. You’ll discover how to refine your perspective by analyzing all the factors that contribute to a successful solution for your company and then choosing one that works for you!
Through this course, you’ll learn:
-How to pick the right problem and recognize its importance
-How to use perspective analysis as a tool for decision-making
-How to work with other stakeholders in order to improve the overall environment of your business
Ultimately, I think the best approach for finding your best problem is to choose what you’re already passionate about and work there. This will spare you from working on a problem that you have no interest in solving because it’s not in line with what fuels your passion. It will also attract people who share your passions, which could lead to some amazing synergies. It will be easier to find ways to engage these kinds of co-workers, because they’ll want to contribute more than they would if they were just doing work.
I hope that this has provided a bit of insight into how you can better define “your best problem” or what it is that you want to do. Hopefully next time you create a problem statement, you’ll be able to make it more impactful.
