Complex Problem Solving

Presented by Kristen Weiss

Often, we interchange "complicated" for "complex" when it comes to problems at work… to our peril. When something is complicated, it has a lot of components, BUT they can be separated and dealt with systematically. A complex problem is one where the parts are nebulous and there aren't any systematic ways to address it. The parts interact in unpredictable ways. In this virtual learning event, participants will be introduced to a new way of thinking about complex problems.
