Conference Theme and Experience

Leading Beyond the Horizon: Bringing Tomorrow into Today's Choices

We all know how to improve our effectiveness by learning from the past. But today's complex problems call on us to traverse time and distance in the other direction—using our imaginations instead of our memories, to anticipate the future. As we'll explore at this year's conference, systems thinking and related disciplines can help us develop this kind of foresight. By understanding the long-term impact and unintended consequences of different scenarios, we can take wiser, more effective actions.

At this conference, you'll:

• Learn from insightful speakers whose work regularly takes them beyond the horizon
  
• Acquire skills for anticipating unintended consequences and managing "wicked messes"


• Uncover possible futures through storytelling, scenario planning, and systems modeling


• Network and collaborate with a community of people dedicated to designing sustainable solutions rather than quick fixes


• Reinforce your commitment to making a difference on a personal, organizational, and global level
