So via elearning post, today I came across this paper (http://www.touchstone.com/tr/wp/wicked.html) that looks at how wicked problems are solved by non-linear processes (...) Thanks, for the link to the paper and for the comments, Chris. Reading the paper, I have noticed that what they call "wicked problems" is similar to what D. Schon called "messies". (Schon, "The Reflective Practitionner - How Professionals Think in Action"). And in Schon's examples of reflecting-in-action and reflecting-on-action there is a similar patern of going from understanding the problem to solutions and back again to "reframe the problem" that is similar to the non linar way that is proposed in the paper for wicked problems. Also Schon's "conversation with the situation" is quite often cooperative. What is interesting in your post is the suggestion that OST is a colective proved solution to wicked problems. I agree. But, as the paper is only a chapter of a book, I would like to understand better what solution they propose for wicked problems to understand how OST relates (or not) with that. I suppose I will have to find the book... Have you read it? Regards Artur __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
