We seem to be stuck, staring at insurmountable challenges. The
pandemic is the opening act for climate change, and we need to get
much better at anticipating and preparing for these types of
challenge. Simply rebuilding bridges once they fall, or houses once
they are swept away, is both expensive and risks human lives.
Anticipation and preparation costs more now, but is much less
costly over time. Of course, spending now to save later is not a
dominant American tradition. We have managed - or at least reacted
to - the Aids epidemic (1981-2013), Internet bubble bursting
(2001), the real estate bubble bursting (2007), the opioid epidemic
(2017), forest fires on the West Coast (2018), and the coronavirus
pandemic (2020). Very recently, we have experienced the fall of
Afghanistan (2021), the latest earthquake and hurricane in Haiti
(2021), and the attack on Ukraine (2022). Various earthquakes,
hurricanes, and recently cicadas, but fortunately not locusts, have
been sprinkled throughout. Beyond Quick Fixes steps back from
business as usual to rethink how we can approach the complex
challenges of contemporary society — health, education, energy,
and social media. Rouse retreats, initially, into the principals of
design thinking rather than policy making; he rigorously
reconsiders our typical modes of operation and explores alternative
ways of thinking about complex problems and potential solutions.
The result is an integrated approach to addressing complexity to
assist leaders and advisors responsible for addressing these
challenges.
