Wicked Problems are Controversiese.g. poverty, ecosystem unraveling, climate change, water as public good, corruption, energy futures
no single definition of the problemelusive solutionscannot judge effectiveness
Tame Problems are Smalle.g. mapping the genome, goods tranport, building a spaceship, designing cars, how to screw in a lightbulb
problem can be defined easilydiverse experts can solve iterativelygenerally have an optimal solution

Collaborative Design Outcomes:
1. Make the Benefits + Costs of Complex Networks Visible
2. Lubricate Negotiation of Costs + Benefits

The engineering tools of Collaborative Design – linking Art & Science – are concepts from cognitive psychology, sociology, anthropology, and behavioral economics.

Science for the Post-Normal Age
Integrated Assessment: multiple scales, stakeholders, disciplines, and bottom lines
Futuring: open discussion, contested and uncertain topics, long-term temporal is-sues, exploratory techniques and framings, multiple realities for irresolvable trade-offs
Dialogic Accountings: transparent decision-making, articulated costs and benefits, engaged motivations of different stakeholders, mature closure on issues through debate and dialogue, informed citizenry, participation in decision-making processes
Multi-Actor Heuristics: bridging organisations, network entrepreneurship

My Vision for Collaborative DesignIncludes Humans and Non-Humans:
not just cooperative but highly coordinated
intimately acquainted with each other’s knowledge, motivations, physical capabilities & actions
able to signal & respond instantly, together
dealing proactively with uncertainty, failure & success
“Probably most of the difficulties which beset human ecology may be traced to the isolation of the subject from the mainstream of ecological thought.” -Amos Hawley (1944)
