An engineered outcome results from the use of a range of control strategies that are appropriate in situations of complex uncertainty. The strategies used have universal application in complex problem solving. It is not only engineers who use them: Scientists 'engineer' the development of a drug; professional engineers will engineer the design and development of an aircraft. Businesses are 'engineered' (or 're-engineered'). | |||
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.
