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.

The key issues are competence, i.e. the skills of those inolved and governance, i.e. how responsility, authority and accountabiliy is allocated.
