Manchester Business School, Thursday, 26th June 2008 at 10.00 - 3.00pm Is Complexity the new framework for management and public sector policy? (26th June 2008)
The established mechanistic paradigm of management and public policy-making, based on the reduction of complex problems into separate, rationally manageable components, is demonstrably not working adequately in today’s environment. This workshop will explore several perspectives on how complexity thinking can help in a pragmatic way to achieve real-world improvements Among the speakers our very own Dr Paul Thomas will present a snapshot of current research and intervention taking place at DNA Wales.
