Major Project

Solution-Multipliers is sponsoring a major new project Vision 2020. A sustainable vision for human development and evolution.

See my personal web page for more background about me.

Solution-Multipliers NZ Ltd. plays a role as specialist consultants to Industries and Governments on Quota Management Systems, and can be contacted regarding fisheries policy for further information.

Ted Howard has a BSc in Zoology (marine ecology & biochemistry), 16 years holding a fishing permit, coastal skipper's ticket, and designing and writing software for fisheries since 1985. He has been involved at all levels in discussions and design of the New Zealand quota management system (since 1976).

The name "Solution-Multipliers" comes form the concept that most real world problems have multiple solutions. These solutions can be broadly categorised into 2 classes:

Problem Multipliers

which create more problems than they solve;

Solution Multipliers

which solve more problems than they create.

In all our work we are aware that there are many possible ways of doing things, each with costs and benefits (all actions have consequences - even inaction).
Often there is no clearly "best option".
Sometimes it takes careful and critical thought to identify longer term outcomes of choices, and their costs and benefits.
This identification process is usually best done by a group of people, not necessarily in committee, often more effectively done by peer review or publication of proposals.
