American Society for Training & Development Learning Event and Af
American Society for Training & Development (ASTD-Lincoln) Learning Event and Afternoon Workshop, Thurs., August 19: “Can Your Business Benefit from Chaos and Complexity?” Is the future of business chaos? Can Complexity Theory provide the answer to today’s globalization of the marketplace? In the midst of shrinking markets, shrinking labor, financial volatility around the world, increased global competition, and rising concerns about the environment, business as usual is not an option. Some experts claim that Complexity Theory might hold the answer to the future of business innovation and success.
Join Erick Hill, Ph.D. on an entertaining two-part exploration of Complexity Theory. Erick will not only increase your knowledge but will ensure that the information is presented in a fun, entertaining, and easy-to-understand format. Using practical examples, Erick will make Complexity Theory less complex.
Part 1 of this two-part exploration will consist of a 45-minute learning event. In Part 1 we will look at Complexity Theory, breaking down the key principles and explore its origins. Dr. Hill will bring simplicity and clarity to your understanding of Complexity Theory. Part 2 will be a hands-on, interactive workshop that will build upon the knowledge gained in Part 1. During this workshop, we will look at real world examples of Complexity Theory and how they operate. Using a case study to further explore the key principles, participants will leave this workshop with increased knowledge and the ability to detect complex systems and how to leverage Complexity Theory.
