What is Wicked Wednesday?

Wicked Wednesday is an informal, international community of practice that meets to work on work-related wicked problems. We gather on Google Meet and Miro for 90 minutes near the end of the work day every Wednesday because:

  • We build mental muscle in overcoming our brain’s habits of oversimplification, gaining capacity to work skillfully and responsibly with wicked problems

  • We help attendees work on a real-life, relevant problem for them, by helping them model their problem and potential solutions

  • Neither evil nor malicious, "wickedness" here means defined by extreme complexity. Wicked problems are often extremely resistant to solutions as solutions may have contradictory requirements.

    It's not just big societal problems like poverty and inequality that are wicked. Many work problems are wicked too. Our brain is hardwired to oversimplify problems, but in the age of A.I it's critical that we build skill in seeing and working responsibly with complexity.

  • All are welcome on a first-come-first-serve basis. We keep gatherings small so that everyone has a chance to have a voice.

    We will help you orient towards the tools and techniques that we use; No prior experience working with wicked problems (or working on Miro) required.

  • You can expect an experience that is casual, welcoming, and intellectual.

    If you have a work related challenge you're facing, you're welcome to offer it up to the group as a case study for the group to work on modeling your problem and/or solution(s).

    • Gain skill and comfort in modeling wicked problems

    • Gain skill and comfort in overcoming our brain’s habit of oversimplification
