IE Talks: From Stoicism to Complex Problem Solving: How Data & People Can Save the World

Uncertainty has surrounded humankind since the beginning of time. Through decision-making rooted in instincts, emotions, facts, and data, humans have unknowingly/unconsciously created the intricate world where we live today.

As technology has drastically evolved over the last centuries, we must ask ourselves:

• What can we tell about the kind of world we are building now?
• How can we leverage technology with the intention of making good decisions within complex environments?
• How can we solve problems we have never confronted before?

Through linking knowledge developed by Greek philosophers to the modern Complex Problem-Solving theory, we will discuss how data and people can challenge today’s most pressing issues.
