Description
In the face of climate change, designing infrastructure that can withstand extreme weather events and rising sea levels is paramount, and traditional approaches often lack the tools to evaluate an ever-growing array of parameters. On top of that, planning on a 20- or even 10-year horizon is getting increasingly difficult, and it might not make sense altogether, for exponential change escapes our ability to foresee it. Exit planning, enter improvisation. This lecture will explore the concept of organizational improvisation and LEGO® Serious Play (LSP) as a powerful tool for designing climate-resilient infrastructure. By providing real-life examples and constructing scenarios with the class, we'll focus on how agility, creativity, and collaboration can enhance an organization's ability to respond to evolving environmental challenges. Join us to learn how LSP enables stakeholders to explore complex problems, co-create solutions, and envision resilient futures.
