Cultural leaders today face the acute challenge of navigating an increasingly complex and uncertain world. Undeliverable expectations and relentless demands place significant constraints on decision-making and critical thinking. Yet the need for clear leadership remains critical.
Leading Systemic Change: Scale & Complexity
Primary tabs
A vital change leadership programme commissioned as a direct response to the volatile circumstances and impact of the Covid-19 pandemic.
WHO IS THE PROGRAMME FOR?
Senior/experienced leaders of mid/large-scale cultural organisations, who are seeking to steer their organisations against the backdrop of constant change.
We will bring together this select cohort of sector leaders, working collectively and in small groups to address the dynamic array organisational, systems and sector challenges currently faced in the arts, museums, heritage and wider cultural industries.
WHAT IS LEADING SYSTEMIC CHANGE?
Leading Systemic Change is a blended-learning change leadership programme.
The imperative to envision an inspiring future, build effective teams, create positive working cultures and show credible ways forward, remains top of the agenda, and this programme will enable leaders to build their capacity to face into adaptive challenges and offer key learning, tools and perspectives to reduce the overwhelm of the current environment.
Connecting and collaborating provides the valuable opportunity for collective experimentation, co-created exploration and cross-sector solution finding, which is critical for cultural, civic and societal impact.
WHAT WILL I TAKE AWAY?
We will provide a secure framework to build and apply change theories, and offer multiple opportunities to practice their application.
Participants will become:
- more confident and skilled to engage with change as part and parcel of leading their organisations;
- more empowered to choose and operationalise approaches confidently, and with agility;
- part of an inspiring and resourceful peer network with a collective understanding, creative empathy and practical support borne of shared experiences.
