Dr. Meredith Smith, executive director of Cradle Cincinnati, joined bi3’s Jill Miller, in a recent episode of Cincinnati Business Courier’s “Getting Health Care Right.” The discussion focused on the book they co-wrote, Infant Mortality and Other Wicked Problems, which details how Cincinnati organizations joined forces to tackle our community’s high infant mortality rate.
The book offers a framework for communities and organizations to tackle their own wicked problems, which often have multiple complex, interconnected factors that are difficult to pinpoint and understand. Examples of wicked problems in business include the rising cost of healthcare, employee engagement, retaining talent and cultural transformation.
