I specialise in the behaviour of people in systems, sort of a "systems psychologist" and have been working with, and studying, wicked-problems for decades.... and am still learning about them and how we can best work with, and address them.
Participation sought: just 10 mins ! for research underway on ways people work with 'wicked problems'

Hi network, I am conducting my PhD research on the ways people work and think about wicked problems, and I would love to gather experiences from people around the world.
The survey takes approximately 10 minutes and utilises a narrative format in a tool called SenseMaker from Cynefin, which incorporates self-signification mechanisms that allow you to indicate the meaning of the story, rather than me as the researcher.
For your information, Doug McKenzie-Mohr suggested that I post here.
All feedback will be confidential and anonymous, and it has ethics approval from my university.
Please take part and share this widely with your networks, friends and colleagues who work with ticky issues (or real wicked problems) in any domain: climate, biodiversity, water, waste, food, energy, child protection, international aid, poverty, crime, health, security etc ..
All findings will be freely shared when I am finished....
