Courses and events
Special PSTA Webinar from Prof Chris Mowles — Complex Responsive Processes
As a bonus free offer, we sometimes put on additional webinars and invite alumni and current participants.
Prof Chris Mowles will draw on a research tradition developed over 20 years at the University of Hertfordshire to argue that everyday organisational life is complex ‘all the way down’, and not just in circumstances of our choosing. He offers a radical view that complexity informs our everyday interactions with each other, so that although we may be in charge we are not always in control.
This event will take place on Tue 17/09/2024 09:45–11:45am.
This event is free — but please register using this Zoom link!
