Powers of Ten: every situation in the world can be looked at from different angles

How would you define "reframing"? I would define reframing as adjusting a thought process in order to change the range of possible solutions. For example, consider the following rudimentary example: (a) what is the sum of 5 plus 5 and (b) what two numbers add up to 10? As you can see, Option B opens the door to many more possibilities yet the both rely on simple addition. Business leaders should consider the same. When developing a business plan or strategy, instead of describing problems and solutions in a “black and white” manner, the process itself should also be analyzed and considered. Consistently asking the “how” and “why” can help all employees to think outside the box, which will lead to innovative and original thought. Consider the following example that reinforces the fact that you can look at every situation in the world from different angles, from close up, from far away, from upside down and behind.
