Complexity Literacy

A two day course to skill your team up for the 21st Century. Understanding complexity can offer insight and clarity in a dynamic, ever changing world. 

Are you aware of complexity theories but unsure what they could mean to your team or organisation?

Do you want to improve your team’s ability to:

 

  • embrace uncertainty

  • understand wicked problems

  • recognise complex patterns 

  • work with emergent dynamics

Bring this 2 day introductory course into your organisation and skill your people up on basics about how complex dynamics work and explore what this might mean for your team.

course content and methods

 

working methods:
Whilst this training will be a dynamic blend of theory and interactive engagement, the Complexity Literacy training is heavier on the theory than most other trainings by Animate Arts. You will be led through a combination of lectures and interactive games/exercises where you will experience complex phenomena first hand and explore your own behavioural patterns within them. We will also touch on methods to access intuitive knowledge in complex situations and give you a taste test of these meditative and creative practices.

two day programme includes:

  • theoretical learnings about: self-organisation, emergent behaviour, attractors, phase transitions and chaos

  • interactive exercises to model complex dynamics and experiment with different behaviour in such situations

  • improvisational exercises to practice dealing with the uncertainty of complexity

  • meditative and embodied exercises to engage different modes of attention in complex situations

  • reflection and integration: what does this knowledge mean in my own context?
