Problem Solved: The IISE Podcast

What can sports teach us about making better decisions? On this episode of Problem Solved, University of Arizona professor and author Ricardo Valerdi joins IISE's Keith Albertson to explore how lessons from the playing field translate to business, engineering and everyday life. Drawing from his new book, The Five-Tool Team, Valerdi discusses why good decisions may not always lead to winning outcomes, but how individuals, teams, and organizations can make smarter choices they feel confident in and why human judgment and sound systems still matters in the age of AI.
