# Event Details - **Event Name**: Uncertain by Design — Futures, Strategy and Organisation in a Complex World - **Event Start and End Date**: Tue, 18 Aug, 2026 at 09:00 am – Wed, 19 Aug, 2026 at 05:00 pm - **Event Description**: A 2026 Studio Dojo x Cynefin Co Collaboration to explore uncertain futures and how we can collectively navigate them.About this EventHow can we design, strategise and lead our (schools, organisations, countries, communities and other collectives) into a future that is radically uncertain, complex and constantly shifting? How can we see complexity and uncertainty as an affordance, a possibility, rather than just a risk or threat?Join us to explore answers that encompass:The unique value of diverse humans, teams and communities in navigating such uncertain futuresMoving beyond Big Data to Warm, Rich Data - and how LLMs and AI should, and should not be applied into these solutionsApproaches that apply (and integrate) at multiple levels or scales from individual coaching to organisational culture and community development - and how the collective supports and shapes the individual and vice versaIn a world of big data but shallow insights, we must find ways to tap into the innate wisdom, creativity and intelligence of our human communities to wisely navigate uncertainty. We believe that the future is human, and that the ways we design, facilitate and structure our communities, institutions and organisations can either liberate or stifle this.Key themes and skills covered:Foresight, planning and futures in an uncertain worldDesigning and leading strategy/changes for complex environmentsBuilding human sensor networks that tap into diverse, innovative viewsConnecting to entangled contexts and multiple perspectives (Warm Data)Navigating complexity in dynamic, emergent ways - (Estuarine Mapping)This programme is relevant for:Leaders and managers, OD and HR practitioners, consultants and anyone else involved in designing and facilitating workplaces and communitiesCoaches and consultants looking for new methods and approaches to bring into their clients’ awarenessStrategic decision makers and those who need to make plans for an uncertain future in any industry or fieldCosting and DiscountsEARLY BIRD discounts are live until 1 AugustSGD1,500 full priceMentoring packages (2 days + follow-up private mentoring) from SG$2500Team discount - bring 2 people, get 1 free + follow-up mentoringNGO and Academic discountsCynefin Co Members, please enter coupon code CCOMEMBER at checkout for an additional 10% discountStackable 5% discount if you also sign up for our deep-dive community-based weekend Estuarine Mapping workshop at Tiny Mighty Studio (now closed for registrations)--------------------------------------------------------------------------------More about Day 1 PM's Public Participation WorkshopCan't join us for the full 2 days? Or, do you have colleagues, clients or friends you'd like to invite along for the afternoon public participation Estuarine Mapping ?We have a pop-in option to participate in a public mapping experience – this is a great way to bring along the complexity-curious folks you might know!Agenda?: 09:00 AM - 12:00 PMDay 1 AMInfo: In the morning of Day 1 we explore the complex human systems we work with and within, exploring questions such as "What really determines or enables human behaviour? How do collective frames affect individual perceptions and individual actions shape collective futures? We'll use the Cynefin Framework for embodied conversations, and dive deep into our shared context through a Warm Data Lab. Themes: Complexity, Context and Connecting. Key Activities: Embodied Cynefin & Warm Data Labs?: 01:30 PM - 05:00 PMDay 1 PMInfo: In the afternoon of Day 1, we open the workshop to additional participants, joining us for a complete exploration of an exploration process, merging Warm Data Labs, Estuarine Mapping and Futures Archetypes. The group will get to see a full process roll out, and to participate or co-facilitate as they choose. Overall, this offers an alternative approach to: strategy, change and futures with application at individual to community levels. Themes: Navigating anthro-complex systems and change. Key Activities: Public Participation - exploring AI at the Estuary (Warm Data Lab, Estuarine Mapping and Archetypes)?: 09:00 AM - 12:00 PMDay 2 AMInfo: We dive deeper into our core theme of "Uncertain by Design" to look at ways we can design FOR uncertainty, to harness its potential, rather than trying to control, predict or minimise the possibilities of our futures. How can we work with design in ways that create agile, prepared minds and incorporate flexibility? Theme: Strategies for intervention in Complex Systems. Key Activities: WRASSE, Design for Human Systems and other methods?: 01:30 PM - 05:00 PMDay 2 PMInfo: In the afternoon of Day 2 we turn to the future and experience some simulation and game type approaches to exploring change and futures in human systems. We explore a range of application cases, both from our facilitators and those brought in by the group, as we integrate these methods and questions into ideas for future actions. Theme: Structures and approaches for complex futures and design.
