Navigating Complexity

Complexity science is transforming management, offering the prospect of achieving more with fewer resources and lower risk. But it involves a very different way of thinking and acting than most people have been trained for. This short programme, by one of the pioneers in applying complexity science to social systems, will provide a basic understanding of the principles, but more importantly, the practice of managing in conditions of inherent uncertainty. The course is based on the Field Guide to Managing Complexity (and Chaos) a joint publication of the Future Systems Directorate of the European Union and Dave Snowden’s Cynefin Centre.
