🚀 Leading Through The Polycrisis
Leading Through Crisis, Chaos & Uncertainty
The future is unpredictable. Your leadership doesn’t have to be. Hone the skills, competence and confidence to guide your organisation through any storm while staying true to your values.
The Polycrisis Is Starting To Impact You
Climate emergency. AI disruption. Economic volatility. Geopolitical instability. Social upheaval. Harmful policy-making. Funding uncertainty. Your organisation is facing unprecedented challenges that traditional leadership models simply can’t handle. The question isn’t if the next crisis will hit – it’s whether your team will be ready when it does.
A 6-Month Transformational Leadership Experience
This isn’t crisis management training. This is leadership evolution for the age of uncertainty. Designed for values-driven leaders who refuse to abandon their principles when the pressure mounts, this experiential learning journey will transform how your organisation navigates complexity, makes decisions under pressure and emerges stronger from every challenge.
What You’ll Learn On This Journey
We focus on six core learning domains; each domain builds essential capabilities for leading in an uncertain world:
🌎
Crisis Systems Mapping
Understand how crises interconnect and cascade. Learn to see the bigger picture, identify leverage points and anticipate second and third-order effects before they hit your organisation.
🧭
Adaptive Leadership
Model the art of leading when you don’t have all the answers. Develop comfort with ambiguity, learn to experiment safely and build the courage to change course when needed.
🛡️
Organisational Antifragility
Move beyond resilience to antifragility – building systems that actually get stronger under stress. Design structures, processes and cultures that thrive on volatility.
⚖️
Ethical Decision-Making Under Pressure
When time is short and stakes are high, maintain your values. Learn frameworks for rapid ethical decision-making that keep you aligned with your mission, even in a crisis.
🔮
Future Scenario Planning
Prepare for multiple possible futures without becoming paralysed by uncertainty. Build dynamic strategies that adapt as conditions change, keeping you ahead of the curve.
🫱🏿🫲🏾
Collective Sensemaking
Harness the wisdom of your entire organisation. Learn to facilitate collective intelligence, navigate disagreement productively and make decisions that everyone can commit to.
