Beyond Intractability
Understand the Stakes
Overcome the Cynicism Barrier
Learning curve with and without the cap
Cynicism Barrier
Tackle the Tough Problems
Don’t fall for the “Lost Key” Syndrome
Don’t just look for solutions in the easy “bright” places, look for them in the “dark” hard places where many solutions lie.
Understand the Big Picture
Think Systemically
Specialize
You Are Here
Think Strategically
Focus 1st on Realistic Win-Win Opportunities
OR at least Mostly Win-Win Opportunities
Win / Win
Focus on Incremental Improvements
Pursue the Medical, Pathology Treatment Model
Not a fruitless search for grand, utopian solutions
Think Long-Term
There is no quick, “Polio-vaccine” type solution
We need something more like a decades-long “war on cancer”
