About Sarah and Karina's workshop
Interactive workshop: Cultivating an adaptive mindset for yourself and your work.
Now more than ever our capacity for change must meet the challenges we face at work and in the world. We know less about what the future looks like, so we need to be ready to face unknown whilst experiencing rapid change in the face of AI and other societal issues.

This interactive workshop will start by establishing an understanding of what it means to be adaptive, followed by an approach attendees can personalise to their circumstances. People in this community are often facilitators and agents for change, let's apply our design thinking methods to how we work as well as what we produce.
