There’s the problem, and then there’s your story about the problem.

• Biases
• Beliefs
• Emotions

But finding effective solutions to hard problems requires a different approach. Seeing the problem from different perspectives, and exploring the problem to discover multiple stories that lead to a deeper understanding of the problem itself…

…and spark fresh ideas for better solutions.
