LEARN. UNLEARN. RELEARN.

“The illiterate of the 21st century will not be those who cannot read and write, but those who cannot learn, unlearn and relearn.”
– Alvin Toffler, author of Future Shock

Times of crisis lead to desperate training responses. Why should that be the case? Organizations that focus on continuous adaptation are prepped to thrive and quickly adapt in times of change. Our learning experiences focus on growing the mindset of staff and leaders to be flexible, open and self empowered.

21st century leadership learning pathway

Our 21st Century Leadership training walks team, talent and leadership through tracks using Subculture Systems' framework for continuous adaptation and applied Human Centered Design.

Training begins at a broad level to a large number of staff and leadership in 21st Century Leadership 101: Continuous Adaptation, then narrows to the most engaged participants in 201: Applied Design Thinking. Those participants with the greatest capacity for innovative thinking and interest in the work participate in the applied program to move their ideas forward.

Courses can be delivered in person, virtually, or in a hybrid model. Sessions include video content, hands-on activities, resources and instructor office hours. Each course’s outputs and assignments are customized to the needs of the organization and may include identification of potential opportunity areas for further exploration.
