Wicked Problems

Wicked problems are complex issues that are difficult to solve because they are interconnected, have many causes, and lack clear solutions. They often involve diverse perspectives and changing conditions, making traditional problem-solving approaches ineffective. Examples include climate change, poverty, and healthcare reform. These problems require ongoing collaboration, adaptive strategies, and an understanding that solutions may need to evolve over time. Recognizing their complexity helps us approach them with patience and flexibility, rather than expecting quick fixes or simple answers.
