Why we're solving the wrong problems (30 minutes)


A call for intentional problem-solving: how to solve the right problem in the right way.

This talk is an invitation for people in tech to spend more time making sure they are solving a real problem in an impactful way.

It’s also a cautionary tale of what can happen when they don’t. (Cue ominous wind.)


What's covered:

  1. How to know you’re solving the right problem
  2. The two kinds of big-picture thinking
  3. Why and how to diagnose problems from the inside-out
  4. How to navigate complexity without making (too many) enemies
  5. How to make decisions on where to focus in complex situations
