Wicked problems come in many forms – from constructing strategy design and execution to reducing chronic illness incidence and expense. They require more than a single approach. Let’s run after your organization’s “world hunger” goals.
Wicked problems aren’t ethically deplorable, but they are incorrigible, tricky, lack clear boundaries, and can intimidate us from taking them on. But, they can also enable us to dream big, innovate, and be a part of the solution to something vexing to organizations and society. Develop an understanding of what defines wicked problems and build the capabilities that will enable you to tackle those challenges that feel like boiling the ocean. Be a difference maker.

Culture is a constantly evolving entity because organizations are constantly facing change whether it’s change in the big picture or change close-to-home. It must be treated as a living, breathing organism because it is created and recreated by individuals, teams, and “the firm” in all types of interconnections and interdependencies. Addressing “culture” is often too broad and ethereal, making it a “they” problem instead of a me or we mindset. This workshop will bring culture home in a way that feels personal and provides practical steps to enable people and the organization’s culture to flourish.

Resilience is necessary to withstand, adapt, and recover from those challenges. But resilience is often treated as a badge of honor, a personality trait, or strength of character. Stop allowing those “givens” to make resilience even harder to achieve. Learn how to “quell the storm and ride the thunder” (Theodore Roosevelt)
