ABSTRACT
There are good reasons in risk and project management for learning to solve the right problems and, once you have identified the type of problem confronting you, to use the appropriate techniques to develop successful solutions. Using the wrong tools to solve the wrong type of problems will not only waste a great deal of time and resources, but lead ultimately to project failure and a lack of functionality in the final products. Furthermore if we are unaware of the type of problems we face, then blindly applying methods that have worked for us in the past may in these new instances lead us to fail, sometimes with dramatic results.
