Re-framing problems
Activity 2.3: Wicked framingsDuration: 45 minutesMode: Think, Pair, Share
Framing hard problems as wicked problems
• No definite initial state and no definite end state: open ended
• Vast solution space• Co-evolution of problem and solution• No definite set of operators, algorithms• High complexity, high ambiguity, high
unpredictability, high uncertainty• Variable constraints, externalities• Tip: brainstorm problems, not solutions
• The main flaw of “design thinking” is to hide the framing of situations as wicked problems
Activity 2.4: Powerful questionsDuration: 30 minutesMode: Think, Pair, Share
A Powerful Question
• generates curiosity in the listener
• stimulates reflective conversation
• is thought-provoking• surfaces underlying assumptions• invites creativity and new
possibilities
• generates energy and forward movement
• channels attention and focusesinquiry
• stays with participants• touches a deep meaning• evokes more questions
Activity 2.5 A creative person is…Duration: 15 minutes
Creative people
• Do not fit into a single profile• Are not ‘special’ at birth• They become ‘special’ through
hard work• They don’t have mental
disorders (at least not beforebeing creative, perhaps society ‘drives them crazy’ by rejecting new ideas?)
• “Creative people” are those individuals who exercise their creative capacities and build confidence
• “Not creative people” are those who oversee, neglect, or restrain their creativity
• Perhaps… not so useful to focus on “creative people” as much as “creative interactions” between people?
