IMI Webinar: Managing in the Age of Complexity: Lessons from a Children’s Fairy-tale with Larry Stapleton

Announcement from the IMI organiser: 

We are living in an Age of Complexity. For businesses, it is not just the technology paradigm that has shifted – it is also the management, organisational and leadership paradigm that is transforming.

Unfortunately, few leaders fully grasp the many dimensions of this complexity. While it is rare to find a model of human centred design or organisational development that doesn’t actively promote ‘agility,’ this is only one aspect of complexity and agility alone may not liberate performance. In fact, agility can create barriers for performance if not approached in a way which balances other dimensions of complexity management.

In this session, renowned digital transformation expert Dr. Larry Stapleton will draw attention to the other areas of complexity - in particular, why diversity might be as important as agility for the long-term growth of organisations.

This webinar will shake you out of traditional thinking and provide insights on:

  • The four dimensions of complexity which need urgent attention in digital-age organisations
  • How and why four dimensions of complexity shape management and leadership priorities, both individually and as a whole
  • How to understand the implications of complexity for management and leadership styles
  • The Goldilocks Zone will be introduced as a way of understanding the importance of a balanced approach to management and leadership in a digital age
