In today’s complex, interconnected world, organizations face an increasing number of “wicked problems” — issues that are difficult to define, have no clear solution, and evolve unpredictably. Whether it’s climate change, AI-driven cyber threats, or geopolitical tensions, leaders must grapple with both the “known unknowns” and the “unknown unknowns” that constantly challenge their strategic decisions.
This webinar explores how organizations can effectively build response capabilities that are agile, adaptable, and resilient in the face of these wicked problems. The expert panel will discuss:
- What defines a wicked problem, and how they differ from traditional challenges.
- The importance of flexibility and scenario planning to respond to both anticipated and unforeseen risks.
- How to leverage simulations to build muscle memory and prepare teams to respond to complex, evolving crises.
- The critical role of cross-functional collaboration and communication in solving problems with no clear solution.
- Real-world examples of organizations that have successfully navigated wicked problems by fostering a culture of resilience and proactive decision-making.
Catch up as we dive into the strategies and tools that can help organizations strengthen their response capabilities, ensuring they are ready for whatever comes next — whether they can see it coming or not.
