I've taught for 15 years, and get a lot of questions from people who are either starting training programs at their company or are starting to teach adjunct at a university (or at programs like GA). This is a book that talks about what I've learned, and include example artifacts like syllabii, assignments, and other things.

Hi -

Arguably, all wicked problems ARE social and systemic problems, at least as defined by most respected literature on the topic. The terms have been a bit overused in popular business culture, applied to problems that, while complex, aren't part of interconnected and systemic humanitarian problems.

https://wickedproblems.com/1_wicked_problems.php has more on this; Rittel is perhaps the most significant source for this topic.

The first chapter jumps right into the contents - https://wickedproblems.com/read.php - thanks :)
