Those who seek to address the complex problems of the modern world - sustainability, inequality, energy, climate change, waste - must use the strategies. All who have, or aspire to have, a responsible role in society should discipline their minds to use them. | Those who seek to address the complex problems of the modern world - sustainability, inequality, energy, climate change, waste - must use the strategies.

The strategies form the basis of a 'engineered process' that is used to control the risk of unsatisfactory outcomes. | |||

Whereas 'what you know' might be described in term of disciplinary expertise, ethos is 'how you think'. Ethos is a crtical issue in engineered processes. | Whereas 'what you know' might be described in term of disciplinary expertise, ethos is 'how you think'.
