What’s Your Problem? Putting Purpose Back into Your Projects. [This is the written form of my presentation What's Your Problem? Putting Purpose Back into Your Projects] Our story begins in the 1980s at Procter & Gamble, the largest consumer goods company in the world. They make Bounty, and Mister Clean, and Dawn and lots of other brands you know and love. P&G was raking in the dough. But they had a problem: they needed a new floor cleaner. So they turned to the smartest people they know — their chemists — to come up with a better soap for mopping floors. But the stronger soaps the chemists created were stripping the sheen from floors and irritating people’s skin. After years of prototypes and failed efforts by their chemists, P&G finally decided to bring in a different group of experts to find a solution: Designers. P&G hired the designers at Continuum, an industrial design firm based in Boston, with offices around the world.
They went to people’s homes to watch them mop their floors. What they learned is that mopping is actually really messy. Nathan Furr - The New Entrepreneur.

Market Pain Explained - Discover the Monetizable Market Pain. Posted February 16th, 2012 by Nathan Furr with No Comments The industrial revolution transformed the business landscape, just as the managerial revolution transformed how we manage large firms. Today, a third revolution, an entrepreneurial revolution, is underway, shaking the very foundations of what we believe about entrepreneurship.
What does this mean for entrepreneurs? Take the example of Greg Whisenant at CrimeReports.com. As an entrepreneur, Greg was doing everything right according to traditional wisdom and it was killing his business. It started several years earlier when Greg’s apartment building had been robbed. As Greg continued, he came to believe that mapping the locations of crimes would align and empower the efforts of citizens and police to reduce overall crime in each neighborhood. But despite his best efforts, doing everything right was leading nowhere quickly. So how did Greg do this? He stopped building and started talking to everyday people and police departments.
