Open Online Briefings: Dynamic and candid explorations of the challenges facing our world today.

4SD Foundation Open Online Briefings

About

The 4SD Foundation Open Online Briefings with Dr David Nabarro offer participants an interdisciplinary and people-focused perspective on current world challenges.

The sessions represent an opportunity to explore what living systems leadership means, what working with living systems really looks like and how living systems skills and capabilities play out in real-time through the work we do at 4SD Foundation to address complex issues.

Each session begins with an overview from Dr David Nabarro, 4SD Foundation’s Strategic Director, and are followed by an interactive discussion with participants.

Anyone is welcome to attend the Briefings.

To connect to the Open Online Briefings on Zoom, links will be provided here and via the 4SD Foundation newsletter. They will be held regularly throughout 2023 on a monthly basis. Recordings will be made available publicly on 4SD Foundation’s YouTube Channel.

Background

The sessions are an evolution of the COVID-19 Open Online Briefings where David shared updates on the pandemic over 118 sessions from March 2020 – December 2022, based on the analyses and guidance provided by the World Health Organization in his role as Special Envoy to Director-General, Dr Tedros.

In addition to his role as Special Envoy and as our Strategic Director at 4SD Foundation, David is the Co-Director of the Institute of Global Health Innovation at Imperial College London, as well as the co-lead of the food workstream and a member of the steering committee for the Global Crisis Response Group on Food, Energy and Finance.

Purpose

Everyone is welcome to attend, especially those who would like to improve basic competences that are key to Living Systems Leadership:

An ability to encourage groups of people with similar core values to come together around a shared purpose.
To nurture co-creation of the future by wide groups of stakeholders.
To convene design-focused workshops full of diverse participants and to make records of decisions made, incorporating them in business plans.
