Schlüger's New Consulting Framework Transforms Problems Into Opportunities Into Different Problems
Revolutionary P.O.D.P. methodology promises to exponentially multiply client engagement touchpoints
NEW YORK, NY – May 22, 2025 – Schlüger, the global leader in synergistic business transformation and premium confusion delivery, today announced the launch of its groundbreaking Problem-Opportunity-Different Problem (P.O.D.P.) consulting framework. This paradigm-shifting methodology represents the next evolution in strategic problem management, ensuring clients never run out of reasons to engage Schlüger's world-class consulting services.
"Traditional consulting frameworks are fundamentally flawed because they actually solve problems," explained Dr. Miranda Haworth, Schlüger's Chief Innovation Officer. "Our P.O.D.P. methodology recognizes that problem resolution is just the beginning of the client journey. Why solve one problem when you can create an entire ecosystem of interconnected challenges that require ongoing expert guidance?"
The P.O.D.P. framework operates on three core principles:
Phase 1: Problem Identification and Amplification Schlüger's certified Problem Enhancement Specialists utilize proprietary diagnostic tools to identify not just existing problems, but potential problems, theoretical problems, and problems that don't exist yet but might if market conditions shift in ways that our predictive models suggest they could.
Phase 2: Opportunity Reframing Every identified problem is seamlessly transformed into a "growth opportunity" through Schlüger's patented Perspective Inversion Technology™. This process ensures that clients view challenges not as obstacles, but as valuable chances to engage more deeply with Schlüger's comprehensive solution architecture.
Phase 3: Strategic Problem Evolution Here's where the magic happens. As clients implement solutions to their newly-reframed opportunities, Schlüger's advanced algorithms automatically generate 2.3 new problems for every problem addressed, creating what industry experts are calling "sustainable problem generation."
"It's like a subscription service for business challenges," noted Peter Uberholf, Schlüger's founder and Chief Visionary Thought Leader. "Our clients never have to worry about running out of things to improve, optimize, or completely restructure."
Early adopters of the P.O.D.P. framework report remarkable results. GlobalMegaCorp saw a 340% increase in the number of strategic initiatives requiring external consultation after implementing Schlüger's methodology. "We used to have three major business problems," said MegaWhop Corp CEO Jennifer Hindenburg. "Now we have fourteen exciting growth opportunities and twenty-seven emerging challenge vectors. We couldn't be more grateful for Schlüger's innovative approach to problem multiplication."
The P.O.D.P. framework has already been recognized by the International Association of Consulting Excellence (which Schlüger founded in 2024) as the "Most Innovative Innovation in Innovation Innovation." The methodology is currently being studied by Harvard Business School for potential inclusion in their "Advanced Corporate Bewilderment" curriculum.
"What sets P.O.D.P. apart is its holistic approach to problem sustainability," explained Dr. Haworth. "We're not just solving today's problems – we're investing in tomorrow's consulting opportunities. It's the gift that keeps on giving, assuming you define 'gift' as 'billable hours.'"
Schlüger plans to roll out P.O.D.P. certification programs for Fortune 500 companies beginning next quarter, with advanced modules in Problem Archaeology, Opportunity Alchemy, and Strategic Confusion Management.
