(Would have. Should. Could. Would.) Do. – Using Effectuation to enter the unknown

The Local Group Dresden invites you to an interactive workshop on dealing with uncertainty in projects:

(Would have. Should. Could. Would.) Do. – Using Effectuation to enter the unknown

Unclear targets for IT projects are often a sign of high uncertainty. This challenge is similar to that of any company start-up. Nobody can predict the future and consequently it is unclear whether an idea will prevail. Successful multiple founders use ways of thinking and behaving that were researched by Saras D. Sarasvathy in the late 1990s and described under the name "Effectuation".

We will apply the practical rules of thumb directly to our own examples. You will learn how to take action quickly, limit risks, negotiate partnerships and provoke and use coincidences. You will find out when Effectuation is more suitable than a planned or agile approach.
