Are you tired of wasting time on strategic plans that end up on shelves? Or just ticking project boxes that don’t make any sense?
If you want to have a measurable positive impact, but don’t know where to start, you’re in the right place.
Welcome to Complexity University.
Less Talk and More Action
There is a more effective way of tackling the world’s most complex challenges than churning out more PowerPoint decks or papers.

What Our Participants Say
“Stakeholder interview can help you to understand and connect more deeply with the system you want to change and …find new ways and solutions more adapted to REALLY changing it!”
“In a short period of time, you’ll gain the most essential insights drawn from many years of experience on the ground and hands-on practice about operating strategically in complexity.”
“There is a gap between knowledge and action and Complexity University has found a way to bridge it. The Foundations of Complexity course gently guides you past the safe knowns and onto the bridge until you start seeing the action you can take.”
“The Gigatonne Challenge was an amazing shortcut between having an intention and getting concrete results. I have never experienced it that way. The biggest prize was observing that people are actually ready to implement an ecological transition. We just need to start the process. The greatest challenge has been to go from our first prototype to a bigger scale. We have to learn how to grow in a sustainable way.”
“This took me out of my comfort zone in the best way. I learned new skills with a fascinating group of people. Stakeholder interviews could be a game changer for how we engage with people at the heart of challenges we seek to tackle.”
“This course was invaluable for helping me to understand how the old paradigms and methods I had learned are no longer suitable for this quick changing uncertain landscape we are now facing.”
“We are a group of specialized environmentalists and concerned people. Personally, I always called for the importance of action done by the biggest companies and causing countries, but after participating in this, we saw the impact that could be done by collective action.”
“I learnt so much. I feel that my thinking is shifting and that I am starting a journey of great significance. Our ability to shift paradigms and transform our outdated thinking is what will hold us into the future. And to do this with any level of skill, we need to practise! The thinking opportunities and personal growth I am experiencing through Complexity University, surprise me. This old dog is learning quite a few new tricks!”
“In terms of what I can do as an individual to tackle the climate crisis – what has changed since joining Complexity University, is that I’m not intimidated by it any more. Now it feels more accessible – like something I can engage with and put my arms around. I’m not frozen. That’s the shift.”
“I could die from another webinar about what we need to do. We all know the earth is in crisis and we need to save it but no-one wants to take the time to figure out the ‘how’. I feel compelled to pivot my career towards an impact driven role. Every action I take in my daily life needs to produce an output that contributes to the story I want to tell. What does this action feed into the results I want to create?”
