It is used to highlight the interconnected, antagonistic and unprecedented nature of the developments which now shape the global economy and our social realities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Understanding the Polycrisis is critical to effective and responsible decision making in today\u2019s business context, providing insight and understanding with which to navigate uncertain terrain. Having the tools to connect the various crises \u2013 from climate through to the rise of AI among others \u2013 places your decision-making process and its outcomes on stronger ground.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This one-day masterclass will provide participants with resources to assess and interpret how their decision-making can respond to a world experiencing Polycrisis. The workshop will focus on the nature of the Polycrisis, the complex moral dilemmas it raises for responsible decision making, and the consequent need for innovative and daring leadership in our evolving global context.<\/p>\n\n\n<mimas-block \n        block-name=\"accordion\"\n        role=\"complementary\"\n        aria-label=\"Accordion content\"\n        data-segment=\"all\">\n\n                \n\n                    <div class=\"accordion\" aria-labelledby=\"accordion-title-Learning-outcomes\">\n            <button type=\"button\" class=\"accordion__heading\" aria-controls=\"Learning-outcomes\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n            <div class=\"title\" id=\"accordion-title-Learning-outcomes\">Learning outcomes<\/div>\n            <div class=\"icon\"><\/div>\n        <\/button>\n        <div class=\"accordion__content\" id=\"Learning-outcomes\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n                    <ul>\n<li>Introduction to Polycrisis analysis \u2013 what it is and what it is not<\/li>\n<li>A practical understanding of the difference Polycrisis analysis makes, connecting local experience with the global context<\/li>\n<li>How to assess the ethical implications of complex and interconnected crises<\/li>\n<li>An opportunity to work through your context with a Polycrisis framework<\/li>\n<li>Be better equipped for responsible decision making and strategic leadership<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n        \n                            \n                    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n                    <div class=\"accordion\" aria-labelledby=\"accordion-title-Who-is-the-program-for?-\">\n            <button type=\"button\" class=\"accordion__heading\" aria-controls=\"Who-is-the-program-for?-\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n            <div class=\"title\" id=\"accordion-title-Who-is-the-program-for?-\">Who is the program for?
