Throughout the world, we find ourselves faced with self-inflicted and interconnected problems that challenge our social fabric, our economic security and the very ability of the Earth to sustain us. We aren't short on solutions to address these problems, but we often get caught up in arguments against one another. "Dilemma thinking" invites us to take situations where we're stuck between opposing values and create a space where both have something to contribute, not by compromise or zero-sum thinking but by bringing all voices into the room on a journey to a better future.
