About the workshop
This one-day workshop introduces participants to the complexity-approach for systems change and other theories underpinning Wicked Lab’s approach.
The workshop is designed to build participant's understanding of why wicked problems can't be addressed with just projects and programs. It illustrates why a complexity, solution ecosystem and systemic innovation approach is best suited to addressing wicked problems, and demonstrates how communities and governments can work this way.

This program allows you to stand back, zoom out and see the whole picture. Which can be terrifying but is the only way to wrap your head around all of it. The Wicked Lab team are brilliant.
