Regenerative Innovation in Complex Systems
Certificate Program: Regenerative Innovation and Complex Systems
Entrepreneurship and innovation, long celebrated as the defining trends of recent times, actively create new solutions to problems, drive systemic change, and break the mold. For over a decade, these concepts have dominated various fields, industries, and life in general, embodying the spirit of the era. The advent of the virus and subsequent political, economic and climate crises have only underscored the truth of the adage, "the only constant is change," by dramatically transforming our reality.
In partnership with NYU i3: The Institute for Impact and Intrapreneurship we are excited to be able to offer a certificate in Innovation and Complexity.

Certificate Program: Regenerative Innovation in Complexity Systems
When it comes to leading social change, the complexity is undeniable. The systems, structures, and policies governing our civic and social lives often struggle to address the diverse challenges we face. To reimagine public and social services, and to strategize our future's investment, we need approaches that are not only creative and inclusive, but also capable of handling complexity. Change-makers in government, human, and social services need the agility to connect, learn, and innovate to address our most pressing human and social issues effectively.
