Description
Summary:'Beyond Quick Fixes' steps back from business as usual to rethink how we can approach the complex challenges of contemporary society-health, education, energy, and social media. Rouse retreats, initially, into the principles of design thinking rather than policymaking; he rigorously reconsiders our typical modes of operation and explores alternative ways of thinking about complex problems and potential solutions. The result is an integrated approach to addressing complexity to assist leaders and advisors responsible for addressing these challenges. He shows that this approach is economically feasible and attractive, and provides guidance on likely challenges from the perspective of organizational and individual change.
