Solving a problem vs. creating a solution
Solving problems and creating solutions overlap, but they are not the same.
Solving a problem means changing the output in the desired way, moving from the current to the target state as shown by agreed metrics or acceptance tests. A workaround can count if it reliably meets the need.
Creating a solution means producing a reusable artifact or repeatable method intended to address a problem: a design, algorithm, policy, product, or playbook. Until it is implemented, adopted, and shown to work in context, the original problem may remain.
The Four Results
When faced with a problem and effort is made to solve it, there are four types of results:
Problem solved + No solution created
Not reusable. One-time fix that does not scale.
Problem unsolved + No solution created
Activity without results.
Problem unsolved + Solution created
Polished output without results. May be the most expensive.
Solved problems are outcomes. Solutions are outputs. If nothing measurable improved for the beneficiary, you did not solve it, no matter how elegant the solution. If you solved it but cannot repeat or scale it, you may not have created a durable solution.
