Thomas Wedell-Wedellsborg Author of "What's Your Problem" and "Innovation as Usual", Harvard Business Review Press

The authors provide a useful and straight forward framework for approaching complex problem solving, whether in business or more broadly in life. But the real added value for me, are the real world examples from corporations, governments and individuals around the world, struggling as they face urgent, complex challenges.
