The ability to lead change in uncertain times is a true accomplishment. Engaging participants in understanding how the social science of human behaviour can help navigate its complexity is invigorating. My passion is accompanying them on this journey.

Mathis SCHULTE

Academic Director and Associate Professor, HEC Paris

How fascinating as a psychologist to collaborate, challenge—and be challenged—by colleagues from sociology, strategy, complexity science, and other disciplines across two institutions! The result is a transformative learning experience for participants, capturing the paradoxes and nuances of change.
Mathis Schulte
