The world is confusing and complex and always has been. As a result we have a compulsion to simplify, but wicked problems like global economic and health crises defy simplification. This book takes a systemic approach to offer a new paradigm for policy, strategic action, change, planning, organizing, leadership and cooperation. By helping readers understand and deal with divided and vested interests, the authors openly embrace complicated and intractable nature of complex problems to build a coherent and systemic approach to problems in a Wicked World. Leveraging systems innovation, via four key qualities - identity, sensitivity, responsitivity, and connectivity - the book conjures "smart interventions" toward policy interventions to develop new ways of thinking and acting. Offering a comprehensive sensemaking framework, this book is valuable reading for reflective practitioners, policy-makers and scholars.
