from our workshops Project Management Skills and Living Systems Thinking- Leading Radical Programs. surrounds the traditional process based
Project Management tools (which come largely out of an engineering tradition)

resources.
Please do not come expecting to only take away a few standard
project templates and tools that you can use and apply back in your workplace.
