Build Adaptive Capacity
May 12, 2016
In a world of surprise and rapid change, innovation becomes a survival strategy. Successful groups continually create new solutions to emerging challenges. When you can see patterns beyond your own bias and understand them from multiple perspectives, you are prepared to take courageous action to create the future you choose for yourself and others.
Build Adaptive Capacity
Facilitation has outgrown its traditional image. It’s no longer about an individual at the front of the room guiding a group of people through processes.
