Outcome

The desired result — what you want to achieve or create. In NLP, outcomes are distinguished from problems: a problem is what you don't want, while an outcome is what you do want. Outcomes must meet the Well-Formedness Conditions to be effective: they must be stated positively, be initiated and maintained by the individual, be specific and sensory-based, preserve positive by-products, and be appropriately contextualized. Outcome thinking is a foundational orientation in NLP coaching and change work.
