Solving Real-World Problems with IR

IR in Action: Problem Solving

The IR section trains you for real-world problem solving, where:

  • Multiple sources of information must be combined for a solution.
  • Quick, logical thinking leads to better outcomes.
  • Uncertainty and incomplete data are common, so you must make the best decision with what's available.

Building Confidence

Practicing IR-style problems builds confidence for tackling the challenges of modern business environments.

Examples

  • Resolving a supply chain issue by integrating information from logistics, finance, and customer service reports.

  • Improving team performance by evaluating survey data and productivity metrics.
