Tackling Wicked Problems

A Collaborative, Zoom Based Workshop

Problems have been identified as ‘wicked’ rather than ‘tame’ because they are difficult to define and near impossible to solve. different because traditional processes can’t resolve them. A wicked problem has innumerable causes, is tough to describe, and doesn’t have a right answer. They’re the opposite of hard but ordinary problems, which people can solve in a finite time period by applying standard techniques. Not only do conventional processes fail to tackle wicked problems, but they may exacerbate situations by generating undesirable consequences.

At the end of the program, participants can expect to;
• gain a better perspective of the different levels of problems they face
• learn to map the dimensions of their ‘wicked’ problem
• begin to identify underlying assumptions and worldviews
• enable stakeholders to articulate their position
• build a shared understanding of the problem
• lead an exploration of multiple options and choose priorities
