Leadership for Systems Change

Course sessions are weekly between July 19 & August 23 this year.

Why this course?

In response to a noticeable need, Chad Foulkes and Geoff Brown have designed this course to help leaders to work with the complexity that surrounds them.

In this immersive course, you will improve your performance and confidence as a leader. You will learn how to develop emergent strategies and take action in real situations where the path forward is unclear.

- Tackle gnarly problems and make progress on a real-life work challenge that you bring to the course

- Re-imagine leadership and cultivate new habits-of-mind

- Learn to notice more and make better sense of our situation

- Work with stories to evaluate system-change initiatives and make better decisions

- Apply a core set of principles and practices to make your system-change efforts more adaptive and resilient

- More effectively use a range of digital platforms for collaboration and technologies that you can apply in your work right away!
