Template - Creating a Problem Statement
By Tom Spencer in Templates, Guidebooks, and Reports
Here is a template that you can use to gather relevant information in order to develop a robust problem statement.
A problem statement is a statement that describes the goals of the client project clearly and concisely. A clear problem statement makes it easier to establish clear boundaries for the project in order to prevent scope creep, ensures that you focus resources and efforts in the right direction, and makes it easier to regularly check back to make sure you are fully addressing the agreed problem. Most often clients come to consultants with problems that aren’t well defined. As a consultant, you must make sure that you translate a general problem into a client problem statement.

Savings and Spending in the Economy
By Tom Spencer in Templates, Guidebooks, and Reports
Many mainstream economists argue that while individuals can save, an economy taken as a whole cannot because one person's spending is another person's income.
This line of reasoning seems to defy logic and begs two questions:
Can economies accumulate savings? Can total spending in an economy exceed total income? This PowerPoint deck shows the traditional model which suggests that an economy cannot accumulate savings and total spending will equal total income. It then proposes a simple revised model which suggests that (a) an economy can accumulate savings and (b) total spending can exceed total income.
If you have studied economics, the slides will take 5 minutes to read through. Although you may have to brush up on how the banking system creates credit since this topic is typically absent from economics courses. Please take a look, and send your constructive criticism to tom [at] spencertom [dot] com

Plan for Physical Fitness
By Tom Spencer in Templates, Guidebooks, and Reports
Are you a busy professional? Do you want to stay in peak physical fitness?
Here are two fitness plans, one for men and one for women.
They are high quality as they were both designed for the Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) in the 1950s. Each plan is perfect for busy professionals as they can be carried out at home, and require just a 15 minute time commitment per day. Sound too good to be true? The catch is you need to be consistent, which is harder than it sounds!
5BX (Five Basic Exercises) is the physical fitness program for men XBX (Ten Basic Exercises) is the physical fitness program for women Note that these pdfs are freely available from many locations on the Internet and (according to the acknowledgement section in each pdf) appear to have been made freely available to the general public.
