Template - Creating a Problem Statement View File Here is a template that you can use to gather relevant information in order to develop a robust problem statement. A problem statement is a statement that describes the goals of the client project clearly and concisely. A clear problem statement makes it easier to establish clear boundaries for the project in order to prevent scope creep, ensures that you focus resources and efforts in the right direction, and makes it easier to regularly check back to make sure you are fully addressing the agreed problem. Most often clients come to consultants with problems that aren’t well defined. As a consultant, you must make sure that you translate a general problem into a client problem statement.

View File Savings and Spending in the Economy Many mainstream economists argue that while individuals can save, an economy taken as a whole cannot because one person's spending is another person's income. This line of reasoning seems to defy logic and begs two questions: Can economies accumulate savings? Can total spending in an economy exceed total income? This PowerPoint deck shows the traditional model which suggests that an economy cannot accumulate savings and total spending will equal total income. It then proposes a simple revised model which suggests that (a) an economy can accumulate savings and (b) total spending can exceed total income. If you have studied economics, the slides will take 5 minutes to read through. Although you may have to brush up on how the banking system creates credit since this topic is typically absent from economics courses.

Hey Vanderbilt Senior, In my experience, staying semi-fit requires a moderate time commitment of 30 minutes per day (the hard part is staying consistent). I personally recommend this plan for physical fitness called 5BX (or XBX for women): https://www.spencertom.com/hub/files/file/94-plan-for-physical-fitness/ That being said, I know lots of people like going to the gym, it's more social, and getting a personal trainer is an easy way to stay on track. You would need to look into it but an "Uber for personal trainers" seems on its face like it wouldn't be a very scaleable business model. Although, it may get traction in major metro areas and be more viable once we have autonomous vehicles since the cost of delivering the personal trainer to specific locations will fall dramatically. In the mean time, it may be worth asking yourself "what value does a personal trainer provide to people in the gym?" Motivation and knowledge are two big things. These might best be provided through an app. For example, take a look at these fitness apps.
