All good. But not so good when those methods are applied to complex problems.</p> <p>Catalytic Factor Analysis is a method designed to address complex sociotechnical challenges through a structured conversation with the crowd. This technique specifically creates a means for both characterizing wicked socio-technical problems and identifying the focus areas to transform the system toward a resolution. The result is the ability to focus resources – state, civil, and institutional, political, entrepreneurial, and educational – on those catalytic factors to transform the system. I will use several examples from recent work to illustrate the method.</p> </div> <h3>Links</h3> <ul> <li><a class="url u-url" href="https://www.meetup.com/portland-design-thinkers/events/290329373?utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=share-btn_savedevents_share_modal&utm_source=link">Website</a></li> </ul> </div>
