Tell Me Something I Don't Know
This activity builds on the 'Map the Uncertainties' exercise by categorizing uncertainties and exploring their complexity. It helps participants distinguish between simple, complicated, and complex uncertainties, enabling them to tailor their approach accordingly.
Use this activity after mapping uncertainties to help participants prioritize and address them effectively.
Solves: Inability to differentiate between different types of uncertainties; applying the same approach to all uncertainties regardless of their complexity.
- 1
Step 1: Introduce the Uncertainty Map and explain the different types of uncertainty (simple, complicated, complex). (5 mins)
- 2
Step 2: Have participants share the uncertainties they identified earlier and place them on the map. (15 mins)
- 3
Step 3: Facilitate a discussion to categorize each uncertainty based on its complexity. (10 mins)
- Provide clear definitions and examples of simple, complicated, and complex uncertainties.
- Encourage participants to justify their categorization of each uncertainty.
- Use a different framework for categorizing uncertainties.
- Have participants research and present information about each type of uncertainty.
