Meetup event on 24 October with Tom Graves

We are running our first event using Meetup. Our speaker and conversationalist is Tom Graves.

Tom deals with the central questions that companies face: How do we create an enterprise that is sustainable and responsive into the future? How do we make sense of complexity and disruption? How do we design for change, rather than reacting to it?

This Meetup will explore the ideas of the ‘ecology of enterprise’ and the ‘enterprise as story’ as powerfully effective tools for sense making, decision-making, leadership and transformation in enterprise design. We will consider techniques for modelling the enterprise at every scale, from micro to macro systems, both within a particular organisational setting and within the micro human system and macro planetary system within which we are ultimately bound. We will contemplate how viewing the ‘ecology of enterprise’ and the ‘enterprise as story’ profoundly shifts our perspective of and relationship to core business purpose, systems, structures and governance.

This Meetup is part of a current conference and master class series. For more details please visit www.tetradian.com
