Evidence-Based Practice / Unit 13   EBP 1811 short lesson, about 20 seconds

No Final Solution

Captions available

The idea

A wicked problem admits no final solution and defies complete definition, so the work is improving the situation rather than closing the problem.

In practice

A problem worked on continuously, with progress measured rather than completion declared.

Where people slip

Expecting closure on a wicked problem produces the conclusion that the effort failed, when what happened was the effort continuing.
