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.
