Wicked problems, root causes, and systemic change hikeDear massively multi-disciplinary, systemic change community in the SF Bay of people in the process of changing the world who happen to hike: I am pleased to say that we have found a time when David Hodgson, and I, Bobby Fishkin, can gather with many of you for our next hike.
Do you care about wicked problems, root causes, Systemic Change & the Sustainable Development Goals? Want to hike? Do you know what a wicked problem is? "Systems change is a way to impact root causes – not symptoms – of complex social issues by shifting how decisions are made about policies, programs, resources, and relationships — ultimately, in the way business is done. Given this, why are funders still reluctant to invest in systems change?" (http://nncg.org/2017/07/wicked-good-systems-solutions-wicked-problems/). Join us for Wicked problems, root causes, and systemic change hike
Hiking is good at creating rhythms of thought, pace of mind, and a social cadence for collaborative creativity and improvisational thought. Its also essential to ensure your thinking is cumulative with other disciplines and patterns of understanding.
For our October 18th hike in 2020 please meet at 2pm PST hike please meet at the Legion of Honor steps.
We will have a good hike. Please let us know if you will be joining so that we know to look out for you. While our hike is the primary container, some of us will head on to eat Burmese food nearby (34th and Clement) afterwards.
You can join the google group for hiking info- http://groups.google.com/group/hiking-to-the-next-level or our meetup here: https://www.meetup.com/Whole-Outcome-Investors-Impact-Investing-For-Systemic-Change/.
You can RSVP for either hike on this Facebook event page () or you can do so by email.
Warm regards,
Bobby Fishkin & David Hodgson
p.s. Re wicked problems:
Wicked Problems "are difficult to address and are continuously evolving
aren’t fully understood; no clear criteria for when the problem is ‘solved’
unique, with no known precedent for a solution
involve many stakeholders and perspectives, with potentially conflicting views
have interconnected causes and drivers, and are part of a dynamic ecosystem
aim to make sustained change at a broad scale"

NSW looks to market for solutions to wicked problems... The NSW Government’s buy.nsw procurement platform, which is to be launched at the end of this month, aims to “take the friction out of connecting buyers and sellers,” according to Dawn Routledge, acting government information and digital officer.https://www.governmentnews.com.au/2018/05/nsw-looks-to-market-for-solutions-to-wicked-problems/
"The last mile problem in the use of law-tech is the move from raw evangelism among technologists, legal consultants, and academics to enthusiasm among those who are in the best position to make change happen. Just as the last mile problem in the telecommunications field is fundamentally a matter of just that, of communication, so too is this problem in the world of legal practice fundamentally about communicating to agents of change and gatekeepers of progress the value and the strategies of technologically enabled innovation.
Mind the FMLM! Wicked problems in need of imaginative solutions. All part of the essential road leading to more, better justice."

"In 2013 a collaboration between a linguist and a bioinfometricianresulted in supercomputing techniques to determine whether an unknown play was written by Shakespeare. The findings of this work were redeployed to diagnose cancer using biological markers to pinpoint a molecular signature for particular diseases. This research approach has been used in various biomedical, literature, linguistic, and social behavioural studies, including one that produced a tree showing relationships between 84 Indo-European languages, and the classification of several different cancer cell lines.
The so-called “wicked problems” related to health, the environment, climate change, among others, continue to plague our world."http://theconversation.com/creating-research-value-needs-more-than-just-science-arts-humanities-social-sciences-can-help-97083
"A wicked problem is a societal challenge, like inequality in education or climate change, that cuts across multiple institutions and brings together numerous stakeholders with competing interests. Because of this, the more you pull at a wicked problem, the more you create another problem. You increase school funding to address achievement gaps between poor and middle-class students, and next thing you know, middle-class families overrun the well-funded schools, using their economic and political leverage to push out the poor kids the funding was designed to target.
