Our ComplexCity events are for those who want to see the bigger picture. They'll help you open your mind to a new way of thinking that allows you to see the whole from the parts - to go from linear thinking to Systems Thinking. If your work life - or personal life - involves tackling complex and 'wicked' problems, or you're simply interested in addressing the urban challenges that impact our daily lives, our ComplexCity events could be exactly what you’re looking for.
In this series, we explore Systems Thinking as a way to tackle issues in our cities, navigating our way through understanding systems and interconnections, collective inquiry into problems, and generating and sharing new ideas. People will gather to learn, share knowledge and skills, and create new thinking and approaches to some of the most pressing challenges faced by urban places and their citizens.
“The mind, once stretched by a new idea, never returns to its original dimensions.” - Ralph Waldo Emerson
You’re invited to come and take part in our immersive events over three sessions:
Whilst booking for individual sessions is available, we encourage you to sign up and attend all three sessions for maximum benefit.
This series is an engaging introduction to systems thinking, so come along to play, explore, connect, create and reimagine a world with like-minded changemakers.
