Founders Of Embedded-Knowledge, Inc. Publish Guide To Designing Sustainable Solutions For Complex Problems

NEW YORK, May 14, 2018 /PRNewswire-iReach/ J. Eduardo and Erica W. Campos, speakers, advisors, and founders of Embedded-Knowledge, Inc., today announced the publication of From Problem Solving to Solution Design: Turning Ideas into Actions (available now). The book is published with ForbesBooks, the exclusive business book publishing imprint of Forbes Media.

At organizations of any size, the most complex problems involve many stakeholders, countless variables, and a myriad of possible solutions. According to J. Eduardo and Erica W. Campos, the most effective way to navigate these sophisticated challenges is to leverage the pitfalls, successes, and beaten paths of others.

As veteran management professionals of Microsoft and other large, global organizations, the authors have five combined decades of formal training, research, and field-tested solution-designing experience with corporations, academia, non-profit organizations, and governments. In their new book, the authors have diligently compiled years of real-world case studies, expert techniques, templates, and resources to help business leaders find a less painful way to design the best applicable solution for a complex problem.

Throughout the book, the authors take readers through the I.D.E.A.S. frameworka set of five critical checkpoints that any solution designer must hit to ensure solutions that are successfully envisioned, negotiated with stakeholders, and implemented to last over time.

1. Identify the essential problem and prioritize your actions to solve it.
2. Design solution options aligned to your goals.
3. Engage your stakeholders in the solution and influence the decision-making process.
4. Act on the agreed-upon recommendations and execute your governance model.
5. Sustain the implemented solution by creating a feedback loop.

"In our professional journey of designing solutions for problems that span organizational borders, time zones, and cultures," said Eduardo, "we have found that creating sustainable solutions often proves very difficult, even for seasoned solution designers. Those who are consistently successful do not reinvent the wheel or design holy-grail solutions all on their own; they use the wisdom and time-tested best practices of solution designers who have come before them. Our goal is to give professionals faced with these challenges the tools and information they need to succeed."

The book From Problem Solving to Solution Design: Turning Ideas into Actions is now available for purchase on Amazon.com.
