2-Hour Wicked Challenges Lab
Solve the strategic 'either/or' paradoxes that keep your leadership team stuck in circular debates.
About this session
Leadership teams often stall when faced with competing priorities—such as scaling fast versus maintaining quality—that feel like impossible 'either/or' choices. This lab provides a structured way to stop circular debates and move toward a strategy that balances these tensions. You will walk away with a documented set of decisions that address the underlying paradox instead of just picking a side.
Why it works
The process works by mapping the interdependent nature of conflicting goals, showing participants that the 'opposing' views are actually necessary for the organization's health. By externalizing the trade-offs into a visual map, the session neutralizes personal friction and forces the group to design specific safeguards that prevent the team from over-correcting in either direction.
What you’ll walk away with
- Clear actionable outcomes from a 3-step facilitated process
- Increased participant engagement and buy-in
- Documented decisions and next steps
- Improved team alignment on the topic
