Program: Comprehensive Solutions to Complex Problems

Speaker: Cory Glazier

The world is full of some extremely serious issues connected to global poverty.  Sometimes the issues affect us so poignantly that it can lead us to action.  While intentions are usually good, outcomes seldom are.  We typically underestimate the complexity of the economic, social, health, and environmental drivers that are the root causes of the issue.  It's critical to understand the complex nature of our world's greatest humanitarian issues and by understanding their true causes we are better able to set a plan for action.  We can then carefully sculpt comprehensive and integrated solutions that have a much better chance of actually addressing the issues.
