Wicked Problems
“Some problems are so complex that youhave to be highly intelligent and well informed
just to be undecided about them.”--Laurence J. Peter
A wicked problem is a social or cultural problem that is difficult or impossible to solve for as many as four reasons: incomplete or contradictory knowledge, the number of people and opinions involved, the large economic burden, and the interconnected nature of these problems with other problems.--Jon Kolko
