At each session, we explore a different thinking tool or approach and try it out on a real, knotty challenge or situation. Together, we reflect on how it worked, discuss its strengths and limitations, and consider how it might help us when facing similar situations in the future.
The overall aim is to:
- Grow our knowledge and experience of different thinking tools
- Learn from one another’s perspectives
- Build clarity and confidence when navigating ambiguity, complexity, and uncertainty
Who is it for?
Anyone who feels stuck, curious, or open to learning new ways of thinking and doing. Open to ages 18 and over. No prior experience needed.
What to expect:
- A short introduction to the thinking tool or theme
- Individual and group activities exploring a shared challenge
- Group reflection and discussion
- An open floor for anyone who’d like to workshop a real-life challenge
Sessions involve active participation, such as drawing, using post-it notes, or making simple models. It’s also ok if you just want to listen and observe.
