Is complexity the new framework
for management and public policy in
the 21st century?

Complexity Society Workshop,
Manchester Institute of Innovation Research,
Manchester Business School,
Manchester, UK.
Thursday 26th June 2008, 10am – 3pm
Followed by AGM

The established mechanistic paradigm of management and public policy-making, based on the reduction of complex problems into separate, rationally manageable components, is demonstrably not working adequately in today’s environment. This workshop will explore several perspectives on how complexity thinking can help in a pragmatic way to achieve real-world improvements.

Each speaker will give a 20-minute presentation to be followed by 20 minutes of mediated interaction.
