Lean Meets Wicked Problems

b'I just spent a month and a half at Imperial College London co-teaching a \\u201cWicked\\u201d Entrepreneurship class. In this case Wicked doesn\\u2019t mean morally evil, but refers to really complex problems, ones with multiple moving parts, where the solution isn\\u2019t obvious. (Understanding and solving homelessness, disinformation, climate change mitigation or an insurgency are examples of wicked problems. Companies also face Wicked problems. In contrast, designing AI-driven enterprise software or building dating apps are comparatively simple problems.)'
