Looking for your next idea

As I am considering my next project - I am really thinking about what MJ teaches about finding a problem to solve and solve it for a group of people. As I consider what this means, I have been looking for ways to identify and focus upon different groups of people. To this end, I found a few of different ways of identifying large groups of people. Here's a few to get you started - along with a few websites to jump start your brain and get your research flowing.
