"Wicked" Problems - What are they and why should you care?

Society's dysfunctions create wicked problems, which in turn make the individual monsters we have to deal with at work daily.

A wicked problem is always related to waste in society.

A "wicked problem" is a complex social or cultural issue that is difficult or seemingly impossible to solve. It is interconnected, has no clear definition, and has multiple conflicting perspectives on potential solutions. Finding a satisfactory resolution is challenging, and any attempt to solve it may create new problems or unintended consequences.
