Planning for today’s environmental and sustainability challenges requires more than expertise and technology.  Effective solutions require that we engage with other people, wrestle with difficult questions, and learn how to adapt and make confident decisions despite uncertainty.

Join the Maryland Department of Planning and the Smart Growth Network at 1:00 p.m. Eastern, Friday, March 5, as Bruce Hull, a Senior Fellow at Virginia Tech, discusses how to address complex “wicked problems,” by blending systems thinking approaches with leadership techniques.  He will offer strategies and practices that build on the foundation of three main skills: connecting, collaborating, and adapting.
