Was having coffee with a friend today and she asked me the question — What is the definition of a Solution ? So I gave her the definition from our site. A Solution is a product or service, or a mix of products and services that addresses a specific problem, challenge or need. A Solution – is what you do, what your proud of, what you offer.
Interestingly the organizations that specialize are having no problems understanding the solution vs business concept and are finding it easy to showcase what they offer on findsolve. It seems to be the more opportunity driven organizations who are finding difficulty showcasing what they offer vs who they are.
The solution currently showcased on findsolve “Project Management Office in 60Days‘ is a great example of the solution vs business concept in action. There is no doubt that the business “PM Solutions Australia” has a large number of services they offer. But the Project Management Office in 60Days is obviously a service-offering (solution) that the business “PM Solutions Australia” offer and are very proud of – plus are confident that they will be able to gather the Customer References to show that that this service-offering (solution) has actually been implemented, is proven and the Customers are satisfied and would recommend the service-offering (solution).
findsolve is a Solution Marketplace — not another business listing/directory. We care what you deliver, what you offer, what your speciality is — not who you are. This is a very subtle, but a very important disticintion. We want to hear about the proven solutions – the stuff you would recommend to your friends — we don’t care if their is a massive corporate organization behind the Solution or if it has been created by two 15yr old kids who collaborated via facebook.
My point is this — If you think you offer a Solution — will by heck who am I to argue with you — and if the people who are using it think it is pretty good — then PUT IT ON findsolve TODAY – and let us give it a voice !!
