Education and Development

In an effort to support organizations in evolution Leigh has developed a curriculum of working sessions that we believe will provide managers and employees with the necessary skills to thrive in the uncertainty and complexity characterizing the current organizational environment.

More than merely managing change it has become necessary to Manage Surprise.

This series of working sessions was designed as a curriculum entitled TOOLS FOR THE THINKING ORGANIZATION. While designed as a curriculum, each session can be delivered as a stand-alone working session.

These working sessions present the most recent and cutting-edge thinking in each subject area.
