Beyond Crisis

SAMI Consulting and the Association of Sustainability Professionals are hosting an event on Beyond Crisis - organisational renewal in turbulent times on 9th February 2010, from 13:00 – 18:30, at the University of Westminster, London

The next decade will present organisational challenges on an unprecedented scale
There will be no return to business as usual. So focusing on achieving organisational renewal in turbulent times becomes imperative - we need to be able to create purposeful self-renewing organisations

This will be a facilitated workshop on Beyond Crisis introducing new organisational development principles, and practical tools, designed to work in any type of organisation, that will extend your capabilities and renew your thinking. It maps out the recent crisis and upheaval caused by debt, demographics, technology and new ways of thinking and behaving. These principles and tools are based on extensive research and experience of consultants from SAMI Consulting.

Participants will:
  • learn how to build a ‘purposeful self-renewing organisation’ to survive and succeed in the midst of chaos
  • explore a range of tools and future scenarios for diagnosing problems and creating solutions
  • explore how to apply these techniques in their own organisation.
