摘要

We are living in a crowded creative world where problem-solving is not a commodity or a unique skill for leaders, but it is somewhat becoming a must for survival, for future foresight and competitive economic differentiation. Literature has a significant gap in the area of the economics of problem-solving, despite the recent rise of the term ‘solution economy’. In this paper, we shall explore the different types of socio-economic problems confronted in the three years’ journey of Inspiration Labs carried out the Inspiration Economy Project and in different countries. The discussion of each of the economic vectors for each problem is followed by a proposed framework on the ‘economic solutions vectors’ shows how to tackle any socio-economic problem-solving and lead to the economic development that supports the flourishment of the targeted communities.
