<br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br>The verb 'to engineer' is used here to mean 'to use a range of strategies for achieving successful outcomes in situations of complex uncertainty'. Professional engineers will typically engineer the design of an aircraft or a bridge. Busineses are 'engineered' (or 're-engineered').  The strategies used have universal application in complex problem solving. They are not confined to the practice of engineering.
