Understanding polio fundamentals

A technical handbook for a non-technical audience.

Understand the key technical principles driving one of the largest global health initiatives in history.

When you work in a highly technical field but are in operations and not in research, it is helpful to have a handbook that translates the critical information you need to know into practical knowledge that you can easily apply to your area of expertise. Typically, literature on polio is written to the technical expert or global policy audience, which often excludes implementers at the country level. This is why I wrote Understanding Polio Fundamentals. This handbook will give you an in-depth understanding of the science behind the effort to eradicate polio in a way that is simple and easy-to-understand. Understanding the technical principles guiding strategy and policy will enable you to not only be more effective in your work, but also to make more informed decisions when faced with challenging or unexpected circumstances. My hope for this book is to empower you and all the true heroes of this global effort.

Solving Complex Problems

The 5-stage CTOS Framework

Welcome to the 5 Stage CTOS Framework! Bringing clarity to noise and simplicity to complexity.

Complex problem solving doesn’t need to be overwhelming. It can be simple, and more importantly — fun! Follow along with the CTOS Squad of problem solvers to come up with solutions to the complex problems in your life and work. Whenever you’re unsure where to begin, follow the stages by clarifying your objective, putting in place the storyline anchors, and then structuring your problem into three levels of boxes — system, components, and required elements. From there, bring in some detail (as much as you’re comfortable with), and then colour — bright colour! Prioritise what to focus on and then translate that into action. That’s all you need to do. It really is that simple.

I hope you enjoy going through the process with me and the Squad, and even more that you find it useful in your life and work.
