Experience INVI's hearing at Christiansborg on 'Model for Wild Problems'

Søs Marie Serup was at the helm on Friday, September 13th at the hearing in the Common Hall at Christiansborg. Here, some of the main architects behind INVI's Wild Problem Model gave insight into how the model can help set the course when tackling a wild problem. She asked a minister, a senior advisor, a homelessness director, a statistician and a former head of department how they see the Wild Problem Model equipping us to deal with wild problems - and what limitations the model has.

Here you can watch or re-watch the hearing bit by bit.


INVI's Director, Sigge Winther Nielsen, presents the Wild Problem Model.

Before you start the debates, sit back and let Sigge Winther Nielsen enlighten you about the model. He explains why INVI sees a need for the new model, how the model itself was developed, what it consists of and what the potential for its use is.


Can you really put wild problems into a formula? Jacob Hariri answers. He is a professor of political science and one of the main architects of the model.

How can the model help us tackle wild problems and what are the challenges and potentials at the intersection of AI and wild problems?

Jacob Hariri has been working to find out for almost a year.

Watch Søs Marie Serup's interview with Jacob Hariri on how the artificial intelligence model can map a wild problem.


Panel discussion: What happens when a wild problem hits government?

"We've spent the last few years trying to tame homelessness as a problem, and we've done it without knowing this model. But it's actually exactly the same factors that the model points to that we've been working with," says Kira West, Director of the Home for All Alliance.

We've gathered three different change makers to debate what happens when a wild problem hits government.

The participants in the panel discussion are:

  • Tommy Ahlers, former minister and entrepreneur

  • Kira West, Director at Home for All Alliance

  • Mette Østergaard, Public Affairs and Communications Director at DI


Minister of Finance, Nikolai Wammen: "I'm pretty crazy about this model"

Nikolai Wammen made his way to Fællessalen to share how he sees the model helping to deal with wild problems in his ministerial office.

"The model should not remove everything we do today, but it should be a supplement to it," says Nicolai Wammen.

And continues:

"One of the things that appeals to me a lot is that you get perspectives from those on the front line."

Panel discussion: What can the Wild Problem Model be used for?

"The model can help ensure that we don't have blind spots, and it can help solve problems that we haven't been able to solve before," says Carl-Johan Dalgaard, Chief Economic Advisor.

And how can it do that?

"It can do this, among other things, by creating time for reflection," says Peter Stensgaard Mørch, former Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Finance.

And then there are things that the model can't or shouldn't be used for.

As the panel takes a tour of all the potential, they also round up limitations and the important points of attention we all need to have when launching a new model that can gather impactful numbers and facts.

You'll get them here too.

The participants in the debate are:

  • Peter Stensgaard Mørch, CEO of PensionDanmark

  • Maj Baltzarsen, Partner in Analysis & Numbers

  • Carl Johan Dalgaard, Professor of Economics and Economic Advisor

  • Sigger Winther Nielsen, CEO of INVI
