Wicked Problem in Action - Case Study & Audience
Activities
What is the Problem?
The Problem
125,000
of Denmark’s senior citizens rely on government sponsored meals
~ 60%
of seniors living in assisted facility have poor nutrition
~ 20%
of seniors are malnourished
Obvious Solution
“Fix the Menu”
Empathesize
Empathesize & Define
● Behaviour, needs and wishes
● Ethonographic Research - Observations, interviews to observe living conditions
● Interacted with kitchen staff
Unarticulated needs are often derived from emotions activities versus functional
Synthesize “the Empathy”
Observations
● Working in public service kitchen = low status job in Denmark
● Kitchen staff appeared demoralized and unmotivated
Insights that were unpacked
● Feeling of disconnect and alienation
● Social stigma - seniors were embarrassed to receive assistance from someone other than family, friend, paid vs free govt program
● Loss of control over food choices was painful
● Hated eating alone because it reminded them that their family was no longer around them
● Kitchen staff were making same boring low cost meals everyday
● Kitchen staff did care and wanted to do a good job
Less enjoyable/ pleasant the experience, less the appetite of seniors -> poor nutrition
The HMWs...
“ If you want to have good ideas, you must have many ideas” - Linus Pauling (Nobel Prize Winner - Chemistry)
Ideate Prototype & Test
● Uniforms for kitchen staff
● New name - Good Kitchen (everybody’s aspirations)
● New channels of comms - newsletters, comment cards
How do we fix the Menu
● Happy seniors with better
nutrition
● Motivated staff who take pride
in their work
TO
“If you have professional pride, you’ll also cook good food. Good food has to come
from the heart “
- Anne Marie Nielsen, Director, The Good Kitchen
