Hi Mark
ALL problems are related to gaps, constraints, blockages, bottlenecks,
transformations, pumping and conversions (all includes timing and lagging,
frequency and sometimes storage). Or all together God help us! All problems
have to do with flow and structure.
see Kepner Tregoe (gap, low time scale)
see ST (mix of all)
see EKS (constraints)
see TOC (constraints)
see VSM (blockages, transformations, storage, timing)
see SSM (definition and transformation, blockages)
see LST (definition, transformation, blockages)
see 7E's (blockages, transformations, timing, frequency, storage (all really,
conceptually)
see SST (blockages)

gap (what I do now that doesn't fulfill me what should I do), and blockage
(what's in the way) and transformation (how do I transform, or convert
what I know into fulfillment)

Find (gap)
Mark, this may sound ridiculous but I can't find one problem outside those
that I mentioned.
