Why is problem solving and change so hard? Why do very smart and experienced leaders and their organizations continue to flounder in the face of complexity? In this 25-minute talk, David explains that every defining challenge you will face as a leader is a complex challenge. And, when it comes to complexity, conventional thinking, tools and approaches are a bigger problem than the problems they are meant to solve. He introduces a powerful underlying logic and the “better way” to match the pace and intensity of today’s challenges. Contrary to what we’ve been conditioned to expect, solving and change can be incredibly fast and boils down to involving all the right people in the right way so that they very quickly co-develop and co-own great solutions that they will then execute. The narrative is rational, compelling, and laced with real-life stories drawn from nearly two decades of cracking complexity with large organizations across just about every sector.
