Solving Complex Problems with Nexus Thinking with Julio M. Ottino

Breaking Boundaries: A podcast from Northwestern University’s Roberta Buffett Institute for Global Affairs

Solving the world's most complex problems, such as those the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals aim to tackle, requires new ways of thinking.
In this episode, Julio M. Ottino, Dean of the McCormick School of Engineering and Applied Sciences at Northwestern University, discusses his new book “The Nexus,” which is a call to “augmenting” our knowledge in the face of complex global challenges, by bringing together the insights, and the conceptual moves, of art, technology, and science.
