Episode Notes

Sometimes changing just one word in a problem statement can fundamentally change the range of solutions you see. We often don't give enough thought to the language we use when problem-solving.

Also, we will use the lenses to reframe a listener submitted problem: How can an association executive help transform a risk-averse board into one that embraces innovation? 

Although this the question is specifically about associations, the conversation applies to any organization.

We will use 4 lenses in today's episode.

7. RESULT
15. SUBSTITUTE
17 CONFLICT
19 PAIN VS GAIN

Although there are many other lenses that could apply, for this and future episodes, I will limit myself to 3 or 4 lenses. This will make it easier for everyone to follow along.
