  • 1.  Choosing better problems to solve - my passion project

    Posted 17 hours ago

    Since grad school studying optimization I've been writing about problem-solving. I diligently tried to put into words what I saw as the distinctive way a lot of people with an OR background approached problem solving.

    I'm now ready to share my new website meta-problem.com to teach people that way of thinking. 

    It's designed primarily as an educational site - aimed at anyone who wants to be a better problem solver. I explore the implications of our approach on a personal, business, and even societal level with questions like "How can we best fight climate change" or "which scientific innovations should we invest in?" 

    My most important realization over the past year is that "better problem solving" actually means choosing better problems to solve. So often it feels like we talk past each other because we see the best problem differently.

    Please give the site a look. My inbox is also open if you have any suggestions.
