Habits of mind to navigate uncertainty (Full Version)

The relentless uncertainty that 2020 has brought has left decision-makers across all levels in organizations feeling unmoored. For many, the ways of and being in the world, as well as the tools and methods that brought success in the past, are no longer sufficient. We constantly find ourselves on the uncomfortable edge of unknowing, and for many this can be paralyzing.

In this talk, we will explore briefly what complexity is, what the implications are for us, and the habits of mind that can help us make sense of, and act in uncertainty.
