Session: When Impossible Meets Strategy: Soft Skills for The World’s Hardest Problems
Building cross-disciplinary solutions to our world's Big Problems is our most urgent, important task. But how does a small group of thoughtful, committed people *actually* make change? Drawing on my experiences launching Tesla's infamous Model 3 program and multiple early stage climate deep-technologies, together we'll look at the patterns. We’ll celebrate systems-thinking and lever-optimization as outsized tools, and we’ll take heart in identifying – in detail – the characteristics of the people and teams who do the impossible.Key Takeaways
- A celebration and re-frame of systems-thinking and lever-optimization as outsized tools for complex, cross-disciplinary impact.
- Self-identification as a changemaker: you're beating the odds by showing up and deciding to (and then doing it strategically).
- Learning compounds! A systems-engineering approach helps you stay agile for accelerated and de-risked outcomes, while doing bold, risky things.
