If you want to discover practical and pragmatic ways to manage under conditions of uncertainty, understand the power of business narrative and discover new ways to use human networks, then this course will provide you with the introductory theory and associated open source Cognitive Edge methods.

The two-day workshop is focused on groups and individuals that are interested in developing capabilities with Cognitive Edge methods for their organisations and clients. The methods effectively provide internal or front-line employee groups an ability to develop their own solutions to challenging organisational issues. Attendance provides the option of then joining the Cognitive Edge Network as an accredited practitioner.
