The qualities, capabilities, reserves and help that you can bring to bear on solving the problem. These can be past, present or future. These are the elements that can solve the issue by dealing with the symptoms (including specific NLP change techniques such as a parts integration exercise) and which can support the outcome.

For example,

• What skills/money/equipment/contacts do you have that will help you to solve your problem?

• Have you faced a problem like this before? How did you solve it?
