What is a "Wicked Problem?"

Neither evil nor malicious, "wickedness" here means defined by extreme complexity. Wicked problems are often extremely resistant to solutions as they may have contradictory requirements. Food security, climate change, and political reform are all large scale societal wicked problems.

So you're trying to solve huge scale problems like climate change?

Sometimes; we can always learn something by working on global scale issues. More often we'll pick a more local or regional issue, such as regional access to affordable nutritious food, or a developmental challenge faced by a social impact business. Send us a message to suggest / request a topic.
