There is a common structure or pattern to problematic circumstances. Most problems consist of three primary components:
- The Problem State
- The Solution State
- The Solution Path
The Problem State refers to "what is," the Solved State refers to "what should be," and the Solution Path refers to the Transformation necessary to close the gap between the two states. The Solution Path is a way of shifting from the Problem State to the Solution State through particular activities when faced with a problem.
