The Importance of Problem Framing in Business
Focusing on the core problem a business aims to solve is essential for success. Entrepreneurs benefit from maintaining a problem-first perspective rather than getting caught up in potential solutions, such as specific technologies or methodologies. This mindset encourages flexibility and adaptability in the startup journey, allowing founders to pivot as necessary. A strong understanding of the target problem ultimately empowers businesses to build solutions that truly meet market needs.
