Conversations about difficult problems

Sonny Saggar, MD speaks and writes about evidence, judgment, systems, medicine, business, and institutions.

Useful conversations

Good conversations start with a real question. A system can look orderly from far away while its incentives, information, and decision points are pulling in different directions.

Suitable formats include interviews, panels, small-group conversations, and recorded discussions where the subject calls for careful thought rather than a quick slogan.

Topics

Evidence, uncertainty, and judgment

How to separate what is known, what is assumed, and what still needs to be understood.

Medicine and healthcare systems

Trust, incentives, institutional pressure, documentation, and the practical consequences of complicated decisions.

Business, systems, and institutions

Why organizations lose the signal, where a process begins to fail, and how to frame the next useful question.
