Networked problems influence each other
Problems that are complex are therefore dynamic and, because of their interconnectedness, they change in ways that affect one another—often in unpredictable ways.
The networked nature of today’s problem situations means that they potentially influence each other constantly … What other people are doing in seemingly unrelated fields might cause an effect that severely influences your problem field and options for action.[1]
