Too many organisations are working in isolation from each other…

Traditional methods for solving social problems are not working…

‘wicked / complex problems require a VERY different response…

Page 4: If you want to  go  fast  go  alone.  If  you want to go far  go  together.  African  proverb

A wicked problem is a social or cultural problem, difficult… or impossible to solve

1. There is no definitive statement of the problem; in fact, there is broad disagreement on what ‘the problem’ is

2. There is incomplete or contradictory knowledge and many people and opinions involved;

3. Problems are interconnected with each other

4. There is a large economic burden; political ramifications and other resource constraints

Horst Rittel and Melvin Webber 1973

Mindsets needed to do this work…From TO

Believing that isolated impact alone can solve ‘wicked’ problems

Accepting that we must work collectively to achieve impact

Having difficulty grappling with complex issues – wanting simple + quick solutions

Can weigh things up, hold lots of different views simultaneously and take a longer view

Having views shaped by narrow concerns and short term gains

Having an ability to consider all perspectives and long term outcomes

Take a self interested perspective – always have a personal (or organisation centric) agenda

Are committed to a broader community wide gain even if others get the credit

Risk intolerance Taking smart risks – managing risk

Resistant to change – have difficulty being objective

Capacity for change – always trying to understand the ‘other’ position

Need to ‘own’, and control attribution to self or organisation

Willing to give up autonomy and share attribution
