13 June 2013: Organized Special Public Meetup with Melbourne Emergence for a David Snowden Talk
Kororoit Institute jointly with RMIT University Centre for Business Education Research are hosting an open Melbourne Emergence Meetup with Dave Snowden, Founder and Chief Scientist of Cognitive Edge. He will be discussing some of his ideas on governance, monitoring, measurement and the like; and how complexity can make a difference to engagement and empowering communities to speak in their own voice. This would include applying new approaches to developing evidence based policy under conditions of uncertainty.
