What is Wicked Ideas Media?
WICKED IDEAS MEDIA brings people together to solve wicked problems – those complex issues that stubbornly resist quick fixes. Wicked problems are complex issues that are slow to get solved because of four interrelated challenges. First, they are saddled with vested interests; second, they become lost in a swirling sea of confusing, contradictory and weaponized information; third, other wicked problems are tangled up with them; and fourth, decision-makers sometimes wait for approval because they fear loss of reputation, investment or position. This project, firmly rooted in the Social networks & info sharing industry, operates in a dynamic space that champions the values of New Economy, Sustainability, Innovation, Creativity, Wealth, Media, Journalism, Community, Solutions, Social Change, Public Affairs, Knowledge, Intelligence, Change Management, and Workshops.
