  • 8 forms of knowledge and the people you need to solve problems

    In this episode of The Ultimate Problem Solver, Sharon Oranekwu explores two of the most underestimated forces behind effective problem solving: people and knowledge.

    Everyone talks about finding the right team. But few understand what kind of people actually solve problems, and which ones just perform proximity politics.

    We also break down the concept of knowledge. Not just what you know, but how you know, and why some knowledge is useless without context, experience, or timing.

    By the end of this episode, you’ll be asking different questions about your network, your learning habits, and your decision-making style.

    Expect insights like:

    • Why high-functioning teams still fail to solve
    • The overlooked currency of decision-making
    • How elite problem solvers curate people and knowledge with precision
    • If you want to solve bigger problems, you need better inputs. This episode is where we start refining both.

    • What is in a Good System?

      In this episode of The Ultimate Problem Solver, Sharon Oranekwu dives deep into the first and often most misunderstood pillar of the TUPS Formula:

      Systems.

      Most people think systems are software, org charts, or fancy dashboards.

      But systems are far more fundamental. They are the architecture of how your life, business, or country runs whether intentionally or by default.

      Through the lens of real-world examples like the Toyota Production System, Singapore’s urban transformation, and broken morning routines, Sharon shows that good systems don’t just support problem solving they are problem solving.

      We break down:

      • Why reacting without systems is just chaos management
      • How systems predict problems before they become crises
      • What great systems have in common (and how to build one)
      • Why many “failures” are actually system failures in disguise
      • From corporate boardrooms to personal habits, Episode 2 reveals the mindset shift required to stop patching problems and start engineering solutions.
