About the event
Join us for a one day workshop exploring the implications for management practice of taking a complexity-informed approach through intimate, reflective conversation in a small group. The day will offer an inter-disciplinary approach, combining the natural and social sciences to think about the complexity of getting things done with other people. Finally, we’ll explore moving beyond managing metrics to the art of managing amid quality relationships and conversation.
With special guest:
Dr Chris Mowles

He has taught in universities across Europe, including regularly at the Copenhagen Business School.

She has practised as a psychotherapist, volunteering for many years as a social worker and counsellor at homeless shelters across the city, and has served on the NeuRA Foundation Board. Her doctoral thesis on governance in an Australian mental health NGO led to a published chapter on cross-cultural identities in practice-based research.
