How Might We (HMW) Statements

A solution-oriented framework used to reframe problems as actionable challenges. Instead of simply stating a problem (e.g., "People have poor mental well-being"), an HMW statement transforms it into a question that opens possibilities (e.g., "How might we improve people's mental well-being in the area?"). Groups refine these statements by considering the desired outcome, important context and constraints, and initial potential solutions. This iterative process is crucial for moving from defining issues to envisioning solutions and enabling agency among participants.
