Dr. Antonie J. Jetter
Engineering and Technology Management Portland State University
We help organizations solve wicked problems through innovation. Our work results in theoretical insights and methods for knowledge sharing and collective intelligence, managing complexity, and for testing innovative ideas through simulation. Much of our work uses Fuzzy Cognitive Mapping.
