Therefore, a complex problem is one that is difficult to solve due to the large number of components and interconnections involved. I believe my life’s task is to solve complex problems as a Chief-Analytics-Officer…

asking new questions and being faced with new problems I wanted to solve, and I began to realize that nursing would not be the best way to accomplish these new goals.
