A rare and privileged exposure to breaking free from the engineering method of problem solving, where I have been forced to truly learn the meaning of "out of the box thinking". This was a very revealing experience and has had a profound impact on my professional and even personal views of life. It was particularly interesting to be part of The Economist at a time that many people were switching over from print to web to digital (tablets).
