Leading Through Complexity Executive Seminar

The challenge of doing more with less is ever present in both the public and private sectors. In the 1980s the big idea was process management and re-engineering, replacing the functionally oriented structures of the preceeding decades. Over the years those ideas have achieved significant results, but they no longer offer the opportunity for radical and progressive change and are in danger of becoming over extended and over complicated.

The Leading Through Complexity one-day executive seminar, led by Dave Snowden and based on his award-winning work, is designed to introduce participants to radical new ways to:

- focus on sustainability, using the natural capabilities of customers, citizens and staff;
- shift from fail-safe design to a more flexible and adaptive process of safe-fail experiments leading to more resilient outcomes;
- use the distributed intelligence of workforces and markets to transform decision making and achieve long term effectiveness
see strategy as a constantly evolving articulation of emergent possibilities, shorting decision cycles, increasing robustness;
- and understand the new simplicity inherent in an ecological approach to management.
