BLACK BOX

Simple Complicated Complex

Types of Problems

Adapted from Brenda Zimmerman

Simple problems

One size fits all Search for standardization Problem solving Checklists Best Practices

Complex problems

Social Immune response One size never fits all Multiple actions (no “one big fix”) Paradoxes exist Social Proof matters Relationships matter

Minimum Specifications (simple rules)

An approach to complex problems: Positive Deviance

Increasing performance

Positive Deviance in action
