Crisis Governance – Agile Leadership in Hypercomplex Challenges.
Democracy in times of Corona… that's how one could describe the current situation. One crisis follows another, while trust in the crisis management of our institutions diminishes. Especially now, it is crucial to adapt our crisis response to the complex challenges. We need to rethink and restructure crisis governance. For this purpose, we offer a current leadership seminar.
Crises are best tackled together. How do we transition from a reactive to a co-creative crisis management mode? How do we shift from top-down and state+administration-driven approaches to a bottom-up, civil society+business-driven process?
In other words, what kind of collaborative, agile, activating moderation and coordination is needed now in organizations (e.g., hospitals), associations (e.g., church), and communities (e.g., municipalities)? Or in technical terms: How do we expand our crisis governance infrastructure now – for the present and beyond?
Crisis governance addresses the way, the HOW of dealing with crises: How do we make the most appropriate decisions and implement them together under tremendous pressure? The key lies in activating societal resources, switching from reactive to co-creative crisis mode. Because profound societal crises can only be solved through more intersectoral and transversal governance – meaning participation. The characteristic of crises is precisely that established institutions, structures, and processes are overwhelmed. It requires new paths beyond the usual responsibilities and routines. Crisis governance develops and optimizes these paths, thus ensuring genuine crisis management during and after the crisis.
The event is designed as a toolshop. In a toolshop, participants learn tools for a specific problem in democracy development and develop concrete solutions and methods for their own problem case.
The training will be conducted as a webinar (online) if enough interested parties sign up.
IMPORTANT: Since we are currently busy with many projects, the trainings are not our highest priority. However, feel free to contact us if you are interested. If enough people sign up, we will surely find a common date, and the training can take place. Please write to: trainings@lernende-demokratie.de
