Kansas Leadership Center’s FrameworkChallenges:
Technical – clearly defined; ready made solutions that can be implemented by authority figures or experts
Adaptive – require learning new ways of operating; progress is made when stakeholders, not simply authority figures, take action; always involves some sort of loss
Concepts pioneered by Ron Heifetz and Marty Linsky

Kansas Leadership Center’s Framework
Six requirements for making progress on Adaptive Challenges:
Solutions lie outside of our current way of operating Solutions require learning Solutions require a shift in responsibility from authority
to stakeholders Solutions require distinguishing what is precious and
what is expendable Solutions demand experimentations Solutions require longer timeframes than we are
accustomed to
