New insights and concepts from the field of complex systems can provide ways to survive and thrive in today's new/old economy. This is a two-day practical experience on working with chaos and complexity - in the global economy, in national markets, in business to business interactions and within the organization itself.
We will identify the key properties that enable organizations to succeed - their structure, dynamics, information flows, and relationships - and the essential roles of leadership in responding to the rapidly changing complex world. Participants will leave prepared to pay attention to new information, ask new questions, make better decisions ' to identify the right time to adapt quickly and when to stay as they are.
