Upgrade: Building your capacity for complexity

What if the ways you think about yourself, the world and everyone in it were the human equivalent of your own internal 'operating system'?

What if you could upgrade that operating system, evolving it as radically now as you did as a child? You'd suddenly find it easier to:

• Achieve better outcomes with a lot less effort
• Find opportunities in fiendishly complex problems
• Juggle stakeholders' diverse, evolving needs
• Take relationships to a whole new level
• Navigate dilemmas and polarising issues
• Enhance your leadership
• Deliver effective change management
• Turn a crisis into an opportunity
• Adapt, evolve and progress in whatever ways you find most meaningful

Upgrade offers a wealth of case studies, insightful questions and tips. It's a practical manual that will transform the way you look at yourself, your work and the people around you. Not only that, it'll help you trigger the same kind of step-change in others.

For the past 17 years, she has been heavily involved in the field of adult development. She started her explorations with Harthill and the frameworks developed by Bill Torbert and David Rooke, then - as a bricoleur by nature - she extended her knowledge and practice across the field, integrating the work of a bewildering array of authors and researchers. Her private sector clients have included Barclays, Danone, Fujitsu, Sony and Virgin Media. She has also worked extensively in the public sector - for instance, with NHS Leadership, the Civil Service College and the Leadership Centre for Local Government - helping senior leaders develop their capacity to lead in highly ambiguous and uncertain environments.
