For the November INFORMS Book Club, we'll be reading Wicked Problems: How to Engineer a Better World by Guru Madhavan. The call will be held on November 20th at 1:00 pm ET. The book is an ode to systems engineers―whose invisible work undergirds our life―and an exploration of the wicked problems they tackle. Our world is filled with pernicious problems. How, for example, did novice pilots learn to fly without taking to the air and risking their lives? How should cities process mountains of waste without polluting the environment? Challenges that tangle personal, public, and planetary aspects―often occurring in health care, infrastructure, business, and policy―are known as wicked problems, and they are not going away anytime soon.
