The Science and Strategy of Adapting to Change
Friday, November 15 | 9:15 – 10:15 a.m. ET
Can you reach your goals, even if things aren’t going the way you expect? Most people, and organizations, are good at setting goals and making plans, but not very good at revising those plans when things change. But that’s the real work of resilience. Backed by Courtney Clark’s data-driven research, ReVisionary Thinking offers concrete strategies for building “future readiness” and blazing a new path when the goalposts move on you.
