Sustainable Environmental Resilience Technologies: FREE Open-Access paper
Designing environmental resilience technology that transition research to commercialization providing sustainable solutions In this paper we talk about a model for defining requirements for providing information technologies and data analytics as “environmental resilience technologies”. This methodology combines systematic analysis of the decision space with human centered design (HCD) to provide a model for transition research […]
Wicked Problems need WKID Innovation
Founder Natasha Stavros (PhD) developed the WKID (pronounced “wicked”) Innovation framework to describe how to system engineer change to solve wicked problems. Wicked problems involve multiple organizations and often involve disagreement about the causes and best solutions. What is WKID Innovation? WKID Innovation is a framework to generalize processes for innovation using leadership techniques and […]
Megafires, Technology, and Innovation
Wildfire is a wicked problem affecting many people with shared responsibility and accountability, each with their own constraints on viable solutions. Using the WKID Innovation framework, Founder Dr. Natasha Stavros brought innovation to wildfires. Dr. Stavros co-led a workshop at the Keck Institute for Space Studies (KISS) affiliated with California Institute of Technology to bring […]
The Wicked Wildfire Problem and Solution Space
Dr. Stavros gave a plenary talk on the wicked wildfire problem and solution space to frame the context for the Keck Institute of Space Science workshop on Detecting and Tracking the Fires that Matter. What is needed, what is possible, how do we build it? In this talk, Dr. Stavros provides an overview of what […]
