Project resilience
Discover how to anticipate and manage uncertainty in your projects with the help of strategic design tools. In an increasingly complex business context, this innovative approach goes beyond traditional risk management approaches to increase overall project and organizational resilience.
Presentation of the program
Volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous: the current context, aggravated by the COVID crisis, calls for the integration of new methods and tools into project management, in order to manage ever greater and more rapid fluctuations in constraints and resources.
Strategic design, combining foresight and rapid experimentation cycles, enables us to develop a new approach to managing uncertainty in project and organizational management. It consists in identifying the main factors of uncertainty linked to the future, imagining several possible futures, assessing their respective risks and opportunities, and then creating a portfolio of actionable options for each of them.
The aim of this short program is to enable managers and executives to apply the tools of strategic design to increase the resilience of their projects and organizations.
