Description

The first event in our three-part Critical Conversations mini-series explores conquering complexity through systems approaches, hosted by the Royal Academy of Engineering.

This event, chaired by Academy CEO Dr Hayaatun Sillem CBE, will define complex challenges and explore the role of systems thinking in addressing them.

Learn about the fundamentals of systems approaches, why many engineers already use them, and how systems approaches can improve safety and efficiency in tackling complex challenges.

Join us on 04 March, to put your questions to our expert panellists:
• Dame Judith Hackitt DBE FREng, Chair, Safer Complex Systems Programme Board
• Stephen Wendel, Author and Behavioural Scientist
• Joss Colchester, Ecosystem Building at Systems Innovation Network

Location
  • London, UK
