Start with a “Wicked” Problem—one with no clear solution and no agreed-upon formula for arriving at any solution. Then blend in some social complexity—interested people from different professions; from different organizations; and, perhaps, from different parts of the world. Finally, toss in the emerging trends—those developments in technology, society, the economy and so on that are often beyond your control.

Five years ago, you could run your business in much the same way as you ran your technical projects. No more. Today it seems that change is something that is doneto you not something you make happen. And strategic? Aren’t strategic plans a thing of the past? With so much happening so fast you’re beginning to think that your hoping-for-the-best-plan is as good as it gets.

The Middleton-House & Company course Strategic Change in the Age of Uncertaintycan help you deal systematically with a world around you that seems out of control.

If you’d rather address the issues one at a time with plenty of time to think in between, you are likely to find what you are looking for in our Short Topics.
