Making Sense of Complexity
Making Sense of Complexity focuses on the very nature of our working contexts today, arguing that the work we do is more complex than ever and that this complexity demands new approaches.

Design Thinking for Results
Design Thinking for Results engages participants in a discussion about an iterative design process which bridges imagination and implementation to help organisations rapidly and incrementally address complex challenges, create value and grow. Participants will explore the need for customer-focused thinking and learn that not all innovation involves product innovation. They will experience the value that innovating around processes and services can bring to an organisation and discover how to implement a test-and-learn mentality that captures more value for the organisation, more quickly.

Driving and Influencing Change
In the complex and volatile context within which we work, most organisations must be able to respond to change on a continuous basis. Yet many are left wondering how to get work done, execute strategy and succeed when the parameters keep shifting. Through facilitated discussion, lively activities and relevant case study exercises, Driving and Influencing Change invites participants to explore how change has impacted their own lives and discover what it means to adopt an adaptive mindset. By applying change models in their own business context, examining the attributes of a successful change driver and influencer, as well as learning to help others through the change process, participants will obtain the knowledge, tools and dispositions to become true practitioners of driving and influencing change.

Managing Critical Relationships
Managing Critical Relationships provides delegates with the skills and tools necessary to master the intricacies of relationship management in the contemporary work context. It begins by understanding the implications for those teams and individuals that cooperate and those that don’t. It does so with a particular focus on identifying different types of stakeholders in critical relationships. Based on this identification, the stakeholders are analysed to determine their level of support and their most important issues, in order to create an engagement plan that is customised to each stakeholder’s needs.
