Based in Perth but delivers training worldwide.

Workshop outcomes

  • By the end of the 3‑day program, participants will be able to:
    • Confidently lead their teams during periods of uncertainty using adaptive leadership practices
    • Apply frameworks (VUCA, DAC, Cynefin) in live scenarios and adapt them in changing conditions
    • Communicate with clarity and influence even as circumstances shift
    • Make strategic decisions under pressure using structured decision‑making tools
    • Drive resilience and alignment in teams during rapid change
    • Develop future‑oriented strategies using scenario planning
    • Build team psychological safety and an agile culture that thrives in ambiguity
    • Create and execute a 90‑day action plan with accountability structures

Topics covered

  • Day 1 – Foundations and First Spiral (Setting the Stage)
    • Introduction to the evolving case studies: Participants are introduced to a complex organisational challenge involving multiple stakeholders, external disruption, and incomplete information.
    • Spiral 1:
    • Analyse the environment using VUCA and Cynefin
    • Explore adaptive leadership and emotional intelligence under pressure
    • First application: Teams present initial strategies to navigate the uncertainty; facilitators introduce key gaps and emerging risks for Day 2.
  • Day 2 – Deepening Capability (Second Spiral)
    • The case study escalates with new information and disruptions. Teams must re‑apply Day 1 tools while integrating advanced skills:
      • Decision‑making under deep uncertainty – structured tools and real‑time trade‑offs
      • Scenario planning and strategic foresight – build alternative futures
      • Change leadership frameworks – manage resistance and maintain momentum
    • Second application: Teams revise their strategies with higher stakes, testing resilience and alignment. New layers of complexity are introduced for the final spiral.
  • Day 3 – Integration and Mastery (Final Spiral)
    • The final stage of the case study introduces major organisational and stakeholder shocks.
    • Participants apply the full suite of tools from Days 1 and 2, this time with minimal facilitator guidance, to demonstrate independent capability.
    • Additional focus:
      • Communication for clarity during crisis – storytelling and influence
      • Peer coaching circles – feedback on leadership style and decision‑making
    • Final presentations: Teams present their integrated strategies, followed by facilitator debrief and personal action planning.
    • Program concludes with the creation of a 90‑day leadership plan, peer accountability partnerships, and enrolment in post‑program coaching check‑ins.

Overview

  • Join us for Rekon’s 3‑Day Flagship “Leading Through Uncertainty” Program, an immersive experience built on Rekon’s Spiral Learning Method. Instead of treating modules as standalone topics, participants will engage in a evolving case studies that grow in complexity across the three days. Each iteration of the case study will require participants to re‑apply, deepen, and refine the tools and frameworks they are learning, ensuring true capability transfer.
  • The program blends live facilitation, team‑based strategy labs, peer coaching, and structured reflection. By Day 3, participants will not only have mastered the concepts, but will have practised leading through real‑world uncertainty multiple times with escalating stakes.
  • Participants receive a certificate of completion, a digital badge, and the StratDo toolkit.
