The problems we are blogging about are "wicked". There are no elegant solutions to be found and implemented, and our current problems are symptoms of even bigger ones.
UKSIF and NSFM are thinking of introducing more of the change agents who are grappling with these systemic issues to techniques that help people learn more quickly and/or deeply from the work they are doing. Some people will prefer to take the tools and use them with a trusted critical friend, others will prefer to work in small groups that meet regularly for an agreed period.
Some of us might want to focus on Mike Hulme’s challenge in his new book Why We Disagree About Climate Change. He believes that we should move on from seeing climate change as a wicked problem to: "us[ing] the idea of climate change to rethink how we take forward our political, social, economic and personal projects over the decades to come … as resource of the imagination … it may teach and empower us to embark on different projects from those that come easily to us".
