Complexity in Action: join global practitioners as they share their learnings, experiences, adventures and misadventures through a range of events across the week beginning 7 March 2022.
This week is about offering an opportunity to explore and share conversations around how people are practically applying complexity tools and methods. It’s all about theory into applied practice. It’s a mix of the practical ‘how it happened’ with
- emergent learnings, questions and processes
- safe-to-fail elements
- a strong emphasis on community engagement and capacity building
- exploring new concepts and ideas
We look forward to seeing you, and colleagues you believe might be interested, at the various events.
Here’s the schedule of events
