Event Start: 01 Jun 2010      Event Finish: 02 Jun 2010

Making Sense... Gaining Cognitive Edge

A two-day Cognitive Edge accreditation course with an optional SenseMaker® training day which is recommended for attendees on prior accreditation courses. Participants will gain an understanding of the principles and practice of naturalizing sense-making to organizational issues.

If you want to discover 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 equip you with the core theory & associated methods.

Cognitive Edge is creating an approach to management & social science by applying insights and understanding from the natural sciences, in particular complex adaptive systems theory, the cognitive sciences and a range of techniques from disciplines such as anthropology.

While offering a range of novel, science based methods, the approach includes the principle of bounded applicability. Different tools and techniques work within different contexts, no one approach can claim universal applicability.

Methods taught on the course are fully supported by open source methods.
