Managing in uncertainty
June 26, 2022
9:00 am
Two-day seminar/experiential learning opportunity with Australian INGOs and La Trobe University on managing in uncertainty. An antidote to the dominant tendency of talking in managerial abstractions, what we now term ‘management speak’. It focused instead on what programme participants actually find themselves doing in the daily messy reality of organisational life, which involves dealing with power and politics, and processes of inclusion and exclusion. Funded by the La Trobe Building Healthy Communities Research Focus Area and the Institute for Global Development at the University of New South Wales.

Acknowledgement of Country
We meet from many places, each with its own deep histories of belonging and custodianship. In the spirit of reflexive practice, we acknowledge that the lands we occupy carry obligations we are still learning to understand. In Australia, this begins with recognising the Traditional Custodians of unceded Country and paying respect to Elders past, present and emerging.
