This presentation suggests opal as a creative metaphor to identifying problems and solving them. There are hidden analogies between opal and problem-defining.

1. The Problem is Knowing the Problem Ali Anani, PhD

2. Problems have many faces

3. Problems are like washing machines

4. Problems are like washing machines They twist and spin us around

5. but in the end we come out cleaner than before "Unknown"

6. Some problems are crystal clear

7. Some problems are Turbid

8. Some problems are Simple

9. Some problems are Complex

10. problems disappear only to reappear

11. Like roots of some plants you remove them...only

12. to reappear also as humidity indoors

13. I say problems are like OPAL

14. Opal is not either crystalline or amorphous

15. It gives many colors Unpredictably

16. Opal colors are diverse more than 100 of them

17. Opal is affected by its environment some opal turns semitransparent in water

18. So are problems business environment may dim them out

19. Only some opal is good for healing Not all solutions are healing to problems

20. Opal diffraction of light depends on its conditions of forming

21. So are problems They diffract clues based on conditions they formed under

22. Opal is the most Unpredictable stone

23. Problems may be subject to Metamorphism

24. And like opal, problems may change color, structure and behavior

25. I hope that your solution is the right opal for your problem
