Learning the community consensus-building process to solve wicked problems\u2014together.<\/h1><\/div>
<\/div><\/div>

The Challenge<\/p>\n

Have you ever faced a problem that seemed impossible to solve? In engineering these are sometimes called \u201cwicked\u201d problems. In this case, a wicked problem is one where values conflict and there are many possible solutions. Our client wanted to teach its members the community consensus-building process, so they’d have the tools they needed to solve thorny problems in counties across the United States.<\/p>\n<\/div>

“<\/b>4Forward demonstrated deep understanding of the philosophy and methods of advanced leadership and management development. I thoroughly enjoyed learning from them about current best practices in leadership development. I found the team responsive, proactive, willing to listen to suggestions, and keen to create materials that were well adapted to our needs.“<\/b><\/p>\n

The Process<\/p>\n

NACo asked us to develop and deliver training to teach members how to solve wicked problems using the community consensus-building process. Our hands-on \u201cCreating Consensus out of Chaos\u201d workshop outlined a deliberative process to successfully resolve wicked problems. The workshop introduced principles, processes and tools to foster understanding, reduce polarization, boost engagement and solve problems collectively.<\/p>\n

The Result<\/p>\n

We delivered \u201cCreating Consensus out of Chaos\u201d on multiple occasions at NACo conferences to elected and appointed county officials from across the United States. Participants gained practical experience working through the community consensus-building process using actual wicked problems submitted by their peers.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
