Chaos And Complexity: Sense Making And Risk Management In Unprecedented Times

Описание: It seems undeniable that the challenges we are currently facing at every level from global to national to local are, if not exactly unprecedented, certainly challenging on a level we have not previously experienced. Whether it is the impacts of climate change, political and geo-political uncertainty, infrastructure fragility, social unrest or a wide range of other increasingly frequent and increasingly disruptive if not destructive events, it feels as if the traditional frameworks that have supported our understanding of a rational world are crumbling. This discussion will look at the issues associated with strategic risk and crisis management in the current world and offer some thoughts on how we can model, prepare for and engage with those issues in meaningful ways.
