How do you problem solve?

When I find myself in a problematic situation, I self-soothe with research. I go down the PubMed and ResearchGate rabbit holes, devouring every bit of information I can find. Data always calms me down, takes me out of my fight-or-flight response, and allows me to calmly and rationally form an evidence-based solution.

I’m keenly aware of how not knowing something can really hurt, regardless of what I’m trying to solve, so my first step is always fact-finding with third-party experts.

That’s why I love our Systems Health Checks so much. For a low-cost, flat-rate fee, our experts will assess your technology systems. You’ll receive a comprehensive report of our findings: a measured, expert review of what you may not know, along with recommendations on how to address the problem before it manifests.

For anyone who solves problems with data and information, a Systems Health Check from J2 is just what the doctor ordered!
