Brain disorders, climate change, clean energy, cancer – these are examples of problems which are difficult to solve because we don’t know what we would need to know to solve them.

In this presentation for the World Economic Forum, he explains strategies such as valuing interdisciplinary expertise and being willing to leave comfort zones. http://www.weforum.org/
