This interactive workshop equips you with practical tools to solve tough problems more strategically with your team.
About this Event

When a new dashboard flops with customers, or a solution creates new problems, it’s usually not for lack of effort, it’s because we’re thinking too simply. Great leaders learn to think multi-dimensionally. They zoom out, recognize patterns, and spot hidden dynamics before making decisions that waste time, money, or morale.

This interactive one-hour workshop helps you do just that. You’ll learn a simple but powerful model to think more strategically and systemically - essential for leading in today’s fast-moving, interconnected world. We’ll apply it to real-world scenarios so you leave with practical insight and an upgraded mindset.

This session builds on our “Collaborative Problem-Solving” workshop and is part of our six-part leadership development series designed for startups and growing businesses.

What you'll get:

· A powerful new lens to spot root causes and avoid unintended consequences

· Tools to help you and your team navigate complexity with greater clarity

· Practice applying systems thinking to your real-world business challenge


Bring your team. Bring a problem. Leave with a more powerful way to lead.
