ABSTRACT: Problem
solving has always
been related to discipline creativity,
breakthroughs, development, disruption, innovation, learning, knowledge,
agility, resilience and most of all inspiration. In inspiration however,
problem solving can take further meaning in that problems; complexities and
challenges are sources of insights, persistence, perseverance and most of all
better visualization over time. In this study we investigate the problem
solving journey and see how inspiration lab contributes to its development and in
tackling complex socio-economic issues. An investigation of the problem
statements in the different inspiration labs carried out in the last five years
is done to evaluate the importance of problem statements in creating effective
solution. The paper concludes with recommendation for future research in this
line to help further breakthroughs in this field where problem solving would be a source for discovering
more opportunities and creating inspiration currencies that creates better social and
economic results and outcomes.
