Ian Tran's Guide to Embracing Wicked Problems and Complex Systems

I wanted to quickly explain the basics to a bunch of people trying to solve wicked problem/complex system types of challenges amid 4 days of very little sleep and intensive projects.  I cleaned it up some and posted it for anyone interested to check out.

Or for those on academia:

You'll need to download it and/or zoom in (it's a large document which shows up at 47% of its actual size on my screen--printed to actual size, it's 2 feet wide!) to read the content comfortably.  Despite my inclination for freely sharing information, I put up a copyright because the "infographic"(?) needs some cleanup in its design.  Given its hacked-together inception, it's not completely satisfying.  I hope to finish a cleaner version later for the creative commons.  However, if you substitute "wicked problems and complex systems" with "life", the theoretical stuff makes a profound guide for approaching any issue.
