Anu Manickam and her colleague Karel van Berkel have written the book "Wicked World - Complex Challenges and Systems Innovation" (2020). In the book, you find a framework for understanding systems dynamics and practical tools for working with wicked issues. In this episode, we talk with Anu Manickam about how to deal with wicked issues practically. We recorded this episode in 2020, but the topic seems still very relevant in today's challenging world. We hope you enjoy listening!

2. Wicked World – Anu Manickam

Art of Collaborating is a podcast produced by Länka Consulting. Länka was established in 2015 by Anna Zingmark and Karoline Bottheim with the mission to explore and develop the tricky "art" of multi-stakeholder-collaboration. When we meet between organizations, sectors and knowledge areas in order to find solutions for handling complex societal challenges, we need support from practical methods and ways of understanding how to collaborate more efficiently. After years of discussing this topic with experts, researchers and practitioners all over the world, we are quite sure that multi-stakeholder collaboration can be called an advanced "art", a specific way of working, it may even be seen as a specific "community of practice". With our podcast, we want to make this - really necessary - specific way of working accessible to more people who find themselves in complex processes with many stakeholders involved.
