An engineered outcome results from the use of a range of strategies that are appropriate in situations of complex uncertainty. These strategies have universal application in complex problem solving. While professional engineers will engineer the design and development of an aircraft It is not only engineers who use the strategies: scientists 'engineer' the development of a drug; businesses are 'engineered' (or 're-engineered').
Figure 1 shows key features of the strategies.
