5 Dr. Martín Carcasson Deliberative Process: Tame & Wicked Problems Director of the Center for Public Deliberation Professor, Department of Communication Studies at CSU DurangoGov.org/WickedProblems Thanks to Dr. Carcasson for suggesting new ideas for our budget process!

6 Typical public process in Durango Deliberative Process: Tame & Wicked Problems Engagement occurs too late in the process Often framed as yes/no issues Primarily provides opportunities for individual expression Caters to entrenched and organized voices Little to no effective interaction or learning/refinement of opinion Methods used for public input: Social media political engagement Town halls Interest groups and lobbyists Chamber of Commerce Eggs and Issues Citizen comment and public hearings Expert panels Letters to the editors s and campaigns to policymakers

7 What we need public process to do: Deliberative Process: Tame & Wicked Problems Build capacity for wisdom, collaborative action and co-creation Spark collaborative learning and the refinement (not just expression) of opinion Help differentiate strong and weak arguments Build mutual understanding and development of respect Support listening and genuine interaction Provide opportunities for voice and public input

8 Tame and Wicked Problems Deliberative Process: Tame & Wicked Problems Tame Problems Problems that are essentially technical in nature and can be solved by experts through scientific means. Can be divided into manageable parts, and efforts to solve them are primarily judged in terms of efficiency. Wicked Problems Inherently involve competing underlying values, paradoxes, and tradeoffs that cannot be resolved by science. Call for high quality communication, creativity, and broad collaborative action to manage well.

9 Solving Wicked Problems Deliberative Process: Tame & Wicked Problems Presume wicked problems not wicked people Focus on improving the conversation not winning the argument Put civic energy toward identifying and finding better ways to negotiate inherent tensions Emphasize the ongoing conversation and a creative learning process
