Let’s Get Started On A Solution
In business, law and life, most of what happens is a random event. You can’t plan for that and processed thinking won’t get you through that. Instead, you have to nurture elastic thinking, and you need a partner to help you recognize multiple solutions that exist.
Often the solution is in the negative space of a problem.
A well-known illustration of this concept is the story of Abraham Wald, a statistician working with the Center for Naval Analysis during World War II. The center had conducted a study of damaged airplanes returning from battle and concluded that armor should be added to the areas that showed the most damage to increase survivability.
Abraham Wald, on the other hand, considered the negative space – the aircraft that were shot down and not represented in the study. Wald proposed that the Navy reinforce the undamaged areas of the returning aircraft because he could see that these areas, if hit, would result in the loss of the aircraft.
