Course overview
Social complexity and uncertainty have an increasing impact on our social and working lives. Complementary to traditional techniques, individuals, organizations and societies therefore require an additional approach. Bundled in a easy-to-use framework.
FAUC® is a framework to help people, organizations and (urban) places to better understand complexity and uncertainty, to better diagnose their ecosystem and to act more effectively. FAUC® is rooted in scientific theory (THAI) and based on many years of experience.
FAUC® leverages five capacities: Entrepreneurial, Alert, Adaptive, Resilient and Creative. Developing each capacity is essential to be able to deal with surprises. FAUC® can be applied through conversations, serious games, assessments and change journeys.
Course details
The FAUC® course is designed for people who live and work in changing, dynamic environments, dealing with social complexity and uncertainty. People looking for a practical framework for shaping effective and fit-for-action teams, organizations and places.
