Module one focuses on the global challenge for business and society in a transforming world. The second module looks at how we can gain mastery over change through creativity, invention and leadership. You will be taking part in brainstorming and discovery exercises to formulate collective and personal objectives, and to frame questions to guide inquiry over the first module. Tools for the biography component of the programme will be introduced. The limits to future change are set, in part, by the constant core of human design and functioning.
Cultures are variations on the theme of human nature.
In the company of an eminent palaeontologist and biologist we shall explore our place in nature. With two leading evolutionary psychologists we shall confront the startling insights of this new discipline, and what they have to say about the challenges we face in the 21 st century. Visits to high-tech laboratories will allow you to glimpse the future. IT specialists will give you a fast forward look at how inventions will transform the nature of work, organisation, culture and consumption. We will question how we can best maintain control over our inventions and steer them towards what we most need and value.
