Adapt and Perform: What Boeing Can Teach You about Change in Complex Systems with Dennis O’Donoghue, VP Boeing Test & Evaluation, a 90-minute live webinar for leaders and managers grappling with large-scale change Wednesday, March 10 at 2:00–3:30 pm EST.

Description: Large organizations often demonstrate characteristics consistent with complex adaptive systems. Like living organisms, these networked systems have identity, intelligence, cognition, and unpredictable responses to changing conditions. Critically important to any leader seeking meaningful results is the principle that complex adaptive systems cannot be directed; they can only be influenced. To be successful, leaders must first understand how the underlying structure of their work system compels the system to act in certain ways—intended and unintended.

In this live session, Dennis O’Donoghue will explain how Boeing’s Flight Validation and Test Organization has employed the principles of living systems to effect profound, rapid change. Attend this webinar to learn more about:

- Using system dynamics modeling and value network analysis to reveal the structure of a work system

- Building a system’s self-awareness and its capacity to adapt and evolve to a desirable future state

- The role of ambiguity in realizing profound change in a complex environment

Pricing: This 90-minute interactive session is $129.00 per site (a single phone line). You can use a speakerphone so that a group of people can participate.
