Planning for Complexity

Experiential Workshop

Traditional strategic planning relies on predicting future outcomes and controlling how they unfold. However, in times of unpredictable change, this approach becomes unrealistic. The Adaptive Action Planning process offers a better alternative. In the short timeframes and ever-changing landscapes of complex systems, the flexible cycles of Adaptive Action are the only effective way to move forward.

Key Takeaways

In this experiential and highly interactive workshop, Planning for Complexity, you will learn to:

  • Identify, understand, and influence patterns that emerge in your environment in real time

  • Use iterative cycles of Adaptive Action to move forward in even the most complex times

  • Experiment with simple tools designed to help you respond to the key tensions in the system and find the best fit for function in real time
