What would a shapeshifter curriculum look like? One of our ambitions is to embed ‘shapeshifters’ into educational curricula - in schools of entrepreneurship, MBAs, and corporate training.

One important step for this to happen is recognise that ‘shapeshifting’ is a craft, not just vibe. It’s more than an innate disposition you either have, or not. It is - also - a set of skills and mindsets you can cultivate. So - if that’s what we wanted to do, how would we go about it?

Workshops

Alternatives to standard project management

• The art of problem-solving - a variation on project management training, this two-hour workshop developed by our president Julien Leyre invites reflection on our spontaneous way to reactive work, how to lean into our strengths and expand approaches
• Ecocyle planning – project management from a living systems perspective: including, how to incorporating composting and early sensing work as part of a balanced portfolio
• Cynefin - how to sorts problems into types - simple, complicated, complex, chaotic - and test approaches are suited to the problem

Personal reflections on values (and capacity to reflect on them)

• Value exchange - from the work of Helen Palmer, reflect on the types of value that are exchanged in professional context. This is not about values (honesty, integrity, care, etc) - but ‘’things that the parties find valuable”.
• Values workshops - variations

Broad spectrum business learning

• Shapeshifters are better placed
