Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Fixing Fixation Problems in the Chemical Industry
Q: Is there a fine line between experience and fixation?
Yes, because while experience can inform judgment, it can also lead to fixation, making one less open to new possibilities.
Fixing Fixation Problems in the Chemical Industry
Q: How do we combat that?
Knowing fixation can occur helps in being open to more possibilities, and there are techniques like the two-strike rule to reconsider one's conclusions.
Tips To Get Your Motor Running
