Businesses today face more problems than they have time to solve. As a result, people admit they tend jump too quickly to solutions. But how can someone competently evaluate a solution without first understanding the nature, source or root causes of the problem?
It's a crucial mistake that often interferes with finding creative solutions that truly make an impact on organizations.</p>

A new MicroCourse called<i style=""> Effective Problem Solving for Teams</i> addresses this problem and explores how to grow your capacity for problem-solving—a critical building block of innovation. You'll learn how to see problems clearly, prioritize them,
define them in actionable ways, and then engage in solving them.</p>

The MIT Cooking Group is open for all the MIT community. For those who love and have a passion for food and cooking. Our members have a varied level of cooking skills, but we all share a common interest in learning about new dishes, making friends, and exploring
new cultures and techniques. We come together to share our culinary experiences and passion. This group is led by Katerina Vinichenko. Every Friday two members volunteer to prepare the main course and a dessert, while the rest help with the preparation of
the dishes and with the cleaning afterwards, or by playing with the kids (we are a kids frendly group).</p>

We meet at the Penthouse of Eastgate from 11am - 2pm. For each meeting you need to send an email to the coordinator so they can know how many people are coming to the meeting and the cookers can buy the ingredients accordingly. At the end we all share the recipes,
pictures and the cost of the ingredients for the food. If no volunteers sign up for a particular date, we will cancel the meeting. We welcome any member of the MIT community that has an interest in food and that would like to have a good time. You can find

world's fastest fault tolerant SAN and NAS Storage Server products based on Fibre Channel Technologies. After Sun Microsystems acquired MaxStrat in 1999, he led the Sun engineering team to deliver one of industry's first fully Fault Tolerant Fiber Channel
Storage Arrays. Recently at Samsung, he has been researching in the areas of Big Data and Object Storage technologies using Flash. Ron is an expert on Scalable Enterprise Storage Systems Architecture including File Systems, Flash Arrays, High Availability,
