Incidents
are unwanted events or missing desired events.
Problems
are persistent incidents that you have difficulty fixing.
A persistent problem is one where at least one attempt at resolution has been made. While the problem has been the subject of multiple discussions, it continues however to persist, presenting a significant challenge.

This two-day workshop will examine the nature of persistent problems and provide an overview of resolution approaches.
