The problem definition and question definition,Solution mode - Who is more smart, Man or animal Articles every corporate must know fully well.  In most instances, the corporate employees search a solution to a question and answer to a problem.  The distinction between the above two phrases has to be understood well by all the employees in the corporate.

In most instances, the corporate employees create big hue and cry purely because of their lack of clarity and understanding about an answer and solution.  How to differentiate a question from a problem? Every problem used to raise different sets of questions and the collective answers only would offer a solution.  Otherwise, the answers would lead to a solution. 

The growth of most corporate suffers largely because of wrong approach or assumptions in solving the problems despite having an answer to the question born out of the problems.  The appropriate conversion/synthesis of a solution from the answer alone would help in the growth and development of the organization.

Let us take a simple example in the corporate like sales is not happening as expected and the consumer preference on the products offered by the company is dwindling.  The above mentioned problem is very common in most corporate.  If everyone raise the problem as a question, the question itself would offer the answer that product is not getting accepted as before.  One may need to ask the second level of question as why the product is not getting accepted now and why it was not so before.  When the corporate employees go on asking such questions, they continue to get only answers to the questions and not the solution. 

Interestingly, the employees instead of processing the answer or seeing the answer as a problem and seek a solution to it, they engage in great debate on the questions and answers. 

Question and answer system are more relevant only for understanding the ground realities.  Organizations require problem identification and immediate solution to the problem.  When to engage in question and answer session and when to discuss about cause and the solution, every organization must know fully well. 

In nature we can learn and understand the distinction between the two very easily.  For example, the squirrel or deer while eating or grazing responds immediately to any unusual sound.  They stop eating/grazing the food and watch alertly to the direction from which the sound had come from.  While doing so, they keep their ears focused, eyes vigilant, the ability to smell and recognize very agile.  As soon as when animals hear the sound, they raise the question as to why, how and from where the sound had come.   The second question probably would be about what implication it might have? 

To answer to the above question only they display high level of their sensorial alertness.  Within a few minutes, they arrive at the solution as either they continues grazing or eating the food or move away from the scene.   The question, the answer and solution animals always link to the problem.  They never isolate or separate or confuse in understanding about a problem. 

Corporate must learn to link the questions, answers and the solution with the main problem only then they can carve the growth path explicatively.  They should learn the fact that answer never be solution and question never going to help them in resolving the problem.  They should derive solution from the answer.
