Leverage points for wicked problems

Embed Size (px)

DESCRIPTION

What kind of different leverage points can we identify to assist design process in tackling wicked problems of humankind? This lecture is based on results and findings from Peloton and HOAS lab projects by Demos Helsinki. Both of these processes aim at creating consumer behavior change and empowering gatekeeper professionals to improve energy efficiency and overall quality of housing. The lecture was held at Chalmers Architecture course Design Systems on February 1st 2012.

there is no point to influence people's attitude.

80-90 % Finns think that climate change is a fact 70-85% consider it a serious threat 50-75 % ready to take action

Yet, Finland #7 in per capita energy usage amongst OECD countries. Change of attitudes has not significantly changed behavior. Energy consumption is rising, meat consumption is rising etc.

Pro-environmental actions are more important than values.

conclusion:understand and influence the choice environment consumers/citizens make their decisions in.

gatekeepers are key to behavior change

1) Gatekeepers define the choice environments as they transform people´s needs and desires into choices and decisions. They enable or deny access to low-energy behavior. Peers and professionals close to the consumer do this in terms of energy-related practices.

2) Previous research has considered legislators and green businesses as gatekeepers for energy consumption. This view tends to underestimate the complexity of the selling/purchasing process with its subtle factors leading to a decision. Therefore only a small part of energy gatekeepers have understood that they have this role.(Demos Helsinki 2009: Gatekeepers changing consumers' behaviour in energy consumption)

[Peloton]!Peloton is the main group in a cycling tournament. In Peloton the competitors

cycle close to each other to save energy and to gather strength for a break-out.!Peloton is a joint e!ort of Demos Helsinki and Sitra to boost new, greener

economy.

Page 37: Leverage points for wicked problems
Page 38: Leverage points for wicked problems

how peloton works?

We engage with gatekeeper communities on a human level. We use participatory future studies and design thinking methods in two-day intensive workshops.

The workshops bring the competitors togethers. Companies send people from every level of the organisation (altogether 20–25 participants). By raising awareness of all competitors simultaneously, we create hunger to be the first in executing a good idea. Low-energy future is tackled by creating ideas for new products and services.

In 2009–2011 we have done workshops for instance for parents of small children, hardware stores, lifestyle media, HR, domestic travel and hospitality, food journalists, home economics teachers, social housing and house managers.

Page 39: Leverage points for wicked problems

Our aim has been to...kickstart low-energy innovation and commercialisation in the most important consumer companies.

We have been successful in... bringing new products and services out and adding value to old ones in most of the organisations we have engaged with.

peloton innovation camp

In November and December 2011 we organised 2 two-day startup camps for low-energy business. Over 150 professionals from various sectors worked voluntarily in 16 teams to develop better services and products.

Wicked Problems are problems of our era1.There is no definitive formulation of a wicked problem (defining

wicked problems is a problem).

2.Solutions to wicked problems are not true-or-false, but better or worse.

3.There is no immediate and no ultimate test of a solution to a wicked problem.

4.Wicked problems do not have an enumerable (or an exhaustively describable) set of potential solutions, nor is there a well-described set of permissible operations that may be incorporated into the plan.

5.Every wicked problem is essentially unique.

6.Every wicked problem can be considered to be a symptom of another problem.

7.The existence of a discrepancy representing a wicked problem can be explained in numerous ways. The choice of explanation determines the nature of the problem's resolution.

8.The planner has no right to be wrong (planners are liable for the consequences of the actions they generate)

work. On average they are more international, better educated and more apt for experimenting than

average dwellers. Therefore, HOAS is expected to be a

forerunner.
