Episode 2: Frame Your Problem

Frame Your Problem > Frame Your Problem To Fit Your Skills (Episode 2) > Episode 2

• Innovation often starts with real people, solving their own problems, innovating for their own use.
• How do you become a user innovator? How do you get your idea out into the world?
• If you really go through your skill set, and you can’t shape the problem to fit your skill set, what you might want to consider is learning a new skill that you think might fit, or finding a collaborator.
• Depending on background, just reframe the problem, and attack it from another perspective.
• So you can reframe the problems through the skills that you have.
• User innovators solve a wide range of problems.
• To find the right one for you to solve, do a cost benefit analysis, and try to make your problem fit your skill set.
• If that doesn’t work, but you still need to solve a particular problem, learn a new skill, or find a collaborator.
• Remember – Both the problem’s shape and the skill set will morph as you proceed.
