I'm type 3. When presented with a problem, I will not stop with W-questions until I think I found the root cause. I find it super interesting to understand the behavior of others. That's often a great way to find new business opportunities. Example: My company (https://WunderGraph.com https://WunderGraph.com) has a discord server with roughly 700 users. It's an absolute Goldmine to find new business. People being a problem, you ask for their use case and that way, you might learn where your company really creates value for someone else. I'd consider this "type 3" as the business engineer. Using software as a function to create business.
- remram 4y agoSeems completely orthogonal.
- jensneuse 4y agoI see it differently. It's most of the time wrong to jump from problem to possible solutions, tech or people solutions. Without finding the root cause, any solution will just fix symptoms.
- remram 4y agoThe article is about how you perceive the problem, it's not about solutions at all. And your "root cause" is still a problem which you have to fix, it's not like your way of doing things allow you to not have to solve problems ever.
- IAmGraydon 4y agoI'm pretty sure you're just describing type 2. At its basis, the article is just about some people being good at risk management and some having no concept of it. He connects this to dealing with humans, but that's just because humans are imperfect and illogical at times and thereby introduce behavioral risk. It's really just about learning to ask what could go wrong. You can then take that further by acting on the answer to that question and optimizing away that risk as much as possible.
