Faster Glass

To innovate our way through disruption, we must be able to influence our colleagues, our customers, and our partners to unlearn and rethink. Easier said than done, but there are some proven, research-based techniques we can use.

Join us at the Oct. 15th Forward Faster by Design virtual session when we'll explore approaches that have been proven to move people to reimagine long-held assumptions and beliefs. Click on the link to register.

Even as we pause on this day to give thanks, we can't help but think about the intractable challenges confronting our communities and our neighbors. At times, some of these challenges, such as homelessness and educational inequity, seem insurmountable. As if our only options are to give up or to continue struggling with a Sisyphean task. But what if there were another way? Can we actually solve 'unsolvable' problems?

That's the topic of our next Forward Faster by Design virtual event on Friday, Dec. 11th. To be sure, solutions to complex issues are, well, complicated – but achievable. As part of our exploration, we will take a ride upstream and look at the tools and benefits of systems thinking, finding points of leverage, and shifting mental models. We will also hear from three experts, Rosalyn Allison-Jacobs, Tracey Greene-Washington, and Liz Winer, who are approaching systems change in innovative ways to get ‘stuff’ done.

If you're looking to learn more about how to make meaningful change in the face of 'unsolvable' problems, we hope you'll join us. Click on the link below to learn more and register. https://www.fasterglass.com/forward-faster
