    Wicked Problems With Example: N.A.V.Lavanyalakshmi 3 Year Batch C'

    Uploaded by

    Lavanya Lakshmi
    Wicked problems are difficult to solve for several reasons: there is no agreed upon definition, no way to determine conclusively when a solution is found, solutions cannot be proven absolutely right or wrong, and potential solutions are not repeatable experiments. An example of a wicked problem is urban revival, where increasing property values price out lower income residents, though cities try to encourage affordable housing and slow changes. Systems thinking and iterative collaboration are approaches to addressing wicked problems.

    WHAT IS A WICKED PROBLEM?
    Wicked problems are much like this sketch note—it’s hard to know where or how to begin, let alone find
    a solution !
    CHARACTERISTICS OF WICKED
    PROBLEMS:
    •A lack of definitive formulation.
    •No stopping rule that determines when a solution has been found.
    •Good or bad solutions rather than true or false solutions.
    •Lack of immediate and ultimate tests of solutions.
    •Solutions are “one-shot” operations rather than trial and error.
    •Lack of criteria that indicate all solutions have been identified.
    •The uniqueness of every wicked problem.
    •Any wicked problem could be viewed as a symptom of another problem.
    •Any discrepancies in wicked problem can be explained in multiple ways.
    •Planners have no right to be wrong in that they are responsible for outcomes that result from
    the actions they take.
    EXAMPLE OF WICKED PROBLEM
    - URBAN REVIVAL
    URBAN REVIVAL
    Many cities, especially their downtown neighborhoods, are experiencing an urban revival. Young,
    college educated workers—many of them single—are moving to dense, walkable neighborhoods,
    drawn in by the variety of restaurants, shops, bars, and other places where they can socialize with
    friends.
    The urban revival is contributing to higher real estate prices, which is making it difficult for many
    lower-income residents who currently live in these downtown neighborhoods to remain in their
    homes. Cities are trying to slow the transition with affordable housing mandates, rent control, and
    similar polices, and their intentions are laudable. Change, however, is a natural part of economic
    growth, and too much interference will stifle growth and make us all worse off.
    HOW TO These five handy methods are based on systems thinking and
    agile methodology.
