There is no fixed process for 'engineering' a problem but there is a range of strategies that are adopted by people to achieve success in situations of complex uncertainty. Those who seek to address the complex problems of the modern world - sustainability, inequality, energy, climate change, waste, etc. - must use these strategies where they are appropriate. All who have, or aspire to have, a responsible role in society should discipline their minds to use them. | There is no fixed process for 'engineering' a problem but there is a range of strategies that are adopted by people to achieve success in situations of complex uncertainty.
