Navigating Complex Work Programmes
Daniel Hummerdal, Co-Founder – OpenChange.
10:00am, Monday 13 November 2023
In this webinar, innovation expert Daniel Hummerdal shared mindsets and tools that help to manage ambiguity, and find opportunity in it.
Daniel discussed helpful approaches for managing the power dynamics, opposing world views and mindsets, and for creating collaboration where there might be discord.
This webinar shared ideas for helping you to elevate your practice, and improve your and your stakeholders ability to see the bigger picture and act in service of that.
While the ideas in this webinar are valuable to anyone, it is particularly relevant to anyone who is part of, or manages a team involved with large work programme in public sector and local government.
DESCRIPTION
Growth-related challenges are a tangled state of affairs that require long-term thinking in often short-term planning/funding/political cycles. How do we create synergy with diverse programme partners, across different regional groups and multiple politicians, where costs and benefits do not fall evenly?
Areas like transport, urban design, housing, food security and climate are fundamentally entangled and cannot be managed well in silos, separate geographies, or aligned reporting. Similarly, they don’t fit well under a big umbrella of, ‘Grand Plan To Solve Everything.’
This webinar is designed to help you embrace the complexity of change and introducing a progressive approach to people, and the change process.
