Here’s what I said I’d do.

#NHSDoOD  

“  ”  

How  we  can  equip  the  workforce  of  the  future  with  the  resilience  and  mindset  needed  to  thrive  in  a  complex  and  changing  world.  We’ll  look  at  how  the  art  and  science  of  OrganisaHonal  Development  can  help  us  as  workforce  leaders  to  look  at  complex  problems  with  fresh  eyes.

Leadership and the new science

“  ”  

The  present  moment  overflows  with  informaHon  about  ourselves  and  our  environment.  But  most  of  those  learnings  fly  by  because  we’re  preoccupied  with  our  images  of  how  we  want  the  world  to  be.

Appreciative Inquiry

“  ”  

The  best  path  to  the  good  society,  we  believe,  is  the  construcHon  of  great  organisaHons  that  nurture  and  magnify  the  best  in  human  beings

Complexity Theory

“  ”  

Seeing  organisaHons  as  complex  social  systems  means  we  can  enable  collaboraHon,  innovaHon,  regeneraHon  and  sustainability.  We  can  address  apparently  intractable  issues.  

The Future of Employment
