New course 9th February – April 27th 2023

Register interest

The course will identify the major shifts in the demands for creative collaborative thinking that the Anthropocene era has let loose. It will make the case that to anticipate the future in a turbulent environment with multiple synchronous challenges, we need an integrative approach. The approach must combine mental skills, self-awareness, powerful concepts, group psychology, empathetic listening, perception of qualitative complexity and visualisation.
