The challenge

We live in a world that is becoming more complex every day. New technologies are creating new opportunities, but also causing massive disruptions in society, affecting the way we live, work and play. Using H. Ritell's terminology, we are facing a new wave of 鈥渨icked鈥� problems - a 鈥渃lass of social system problems which are ill-formulated.鈥� New solutions and new methods are needed, because the methods we currently use are no longer effective. Einstein captured the challenge when he said 鈥淲e can't solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them鈥�
