Complexity doesn’t disappear once we intervene in a system. Instead, it moves and adapts, therefore controlling complexity, or hoping to ‘deal’ with complexity, will not succeed. We need to alter how we approach complexity and place emphasis less on top-down strategies and more on building complexity leadership capabilities.
This practical, hands-on workshop will highlight what is required to support collaboration, shared understanding and approaches to leading in complex systems.
Professor Silke Meyer is a criminologist and social worker by training, bringing practical and theoretical expertise to her research, teaching and writing.
