Welcome to Problem Solved: The IISE Podcast — This is where problems meet solutions.

Industrial and systems engineers (ISEs) are behind the processes that make organizations smarter, faster, and more resilient. Each episode, we bring you conversations with leaders from industry, academia, and beyond who share how they apply ISE methods to transform businesses, communities, and lives.
From streamlining supply chains to reimagining healthcare systems, from AI to sustainability, our guests reveal the tools, mindsets, and stories behind solving problems that matter. Along the way, we also explore surprising and off-beat topics that challenge the way we think about work, technology, and collaboration.
Problem Solved is an award-winning show, recognized with the Azbees Southeast Regional Gold Award for Online Podcast by the American Society of Business Publication Editors in 2024 for our episode, Generative AI and ISEs: What’s Now? What’s Next?
Want to be part of the community that powers innovation?

Every great solution is a story worth telling.
