Much of our discussion of policy problems, and the policy-making designed to ameliorate those problems, is based on functional or instrumental conceptions of the policy. We talk about social welfare issues or defense issues, or alternatively we talk about regulatory policy issues or issues of grants and subsidies. We Peters and Hoornbeek (2005); (s...
As already noted, the concept of wicked problems was developed in the planning literature, rather than in the policy analysis literature per se. While those two fields of endeavor, both in practice as well as in academia, are closely linked, they also have important differences. In the planning approach there is a strong design element when conside...
The first contention made in the introduction to the paper is that although there are a number of difficult problems facing the public sector, these may not be truly wicked. Indeed, Coyne (2005) argues that the ill-defined and awkward problems that are in essence wicked problems is the norm for policy-making, and well-defined and rational policy-ma...
The above discussion of the literature on wicked problems has, I believe, demonstrated that the notion of wicked problems has been stretched substantially, and at times is beyond almost all recognition. Beginning as a description of general problems in policy-making in the 1970s, the concept came to be used as an analytic term for a particular type...
The above rather skeptical discussion of the concept of wicked problems should not be seen as a complete dismissal of this idea. There may well be truly wicked, and even super-wicked problems out there. And even if the analyst is not using the characteristics as a whole to describe the particular problems, they do provide useful insights into the c...
Although the use of the concept of wicked problems is to some extent an academic fad, like other fads of that sort there is some underlying logic. Especially for contemporary policy-making this concept can emphasize the difficulty in making and implementing effective solutions to policy problems. The original formulation from Rittel to Webber, as w...

Oct 18, 2018 · Wicked problems are complex and demand the input of multiple academic disciplines with relevant practical expertise. The key, then, is enabling these disparate experts to work together.

In planning and policy, a wicked problem is a problem that is difficult or impossible to solve because of incomplete, contradictory, and changing requirements that are often difficult to recognize. It refers to an idea or problem that cannot be fixed, where there is no single solution to the problem; and "wicked" denotes resistance to ...
Wicked Science is an Australian television series, which debuted on 24 February 2004. The series focuses on Toby (played by André de Vanny) and Elizabeth (played by Bridget Neval), two teenagers who are mysteriously turned into wizards of science.
A wicked scientist needs a unique set of skills to tackle wicked problems. This means being open to working with experts from different fields and using a big-picture approach called systemic thinking.
