Finding innovative yet tenable solutions is imperative in business and in society in general. Solutions can be big and bold leaps forward or small daily steps which move a project or enterprise gradually into the right direction. Now more than ever, profit and nonprofit-actors require sophisticated methods and tools which help them take these steps. They need to make sense of myriad datasets, balance competing priorities, and decide on efficient implementation. Setting-up a sound environment and process for doing so is a big prize but also a huge challenge for them.

In this session, speakers from different fields of business (consulting, app development, and conference organization) and in different kinds of organizations will illustrate how they arrive at solutions in their daily work. In order to give participants a chance to experience the challenges and benefits of different solution processes themselves, we will run a short case study centred on a focal challenge of Global Economic Sympoisum (GES, the session co-organizer) during the hour. The GES is an annual solution-oriented conference. The 2014 GES will take place in Kuala Lumpur on September 6 to 8, 2014.
