If you don't take the time to develop one, then it will just be "remove the condition that just happened." So "clean up spilled milk" is the default problem statement. But if you stop for a moment and rethink the problem statement, it might be "how do I prevent milk from ever spilling" and then might invent or at least innovate all kinds of solutions.

I came across it while doing some research for a client project and realized that it was very appropriate for entrepreneurs and self-employed professionals as well. We often get so bogged down in serving clients that those 5 responsibilities tend to fall by the wayside. But they're just as essential to our business as to ones 100 times our size. Maybe even more so, since there's no one else to pick up the slack if we don't get to all 5 areas. Interesting post!
