Reframe The Problem

Another strategy to get to a solution quicker when faced with a hard situation is to reframe the problem. Consider a central problem faced by Disney World: long lines. Most rides have limited seating, so the only way to move more people through the ride in the same amount of time is to build more apparatuses for the same ride. That's expensive, involves closing the ride for a substantial period, and may not even be realistically possible given space constraints. But what if the problem was reframed not as "How do we move people through the line faster?" but "How do we make people happier while they wait in line."
