Leading in Complex Environments is a workshop designed for professionals who want to better understand the different environments in which they lead projects. In complex social environments, it is essential to recognize the type of system you are dealing with.
The workshop focuses on how different environments influence organizational structures, decision-making, and communication, as well as on selecting more appropriate tools to set direction and lead effectively.
The workshop is delivered using LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® materials and methodology.
