u-lab: Leading From the Emerging Future
An introduction to leading profound social, environmental and personal transformation
Many of us feel that we want to be part of a different story - we just don’t know how. u-lab is all about the ‘how.’ - Otto Scharmer
This MOOC (Massive Open Online Course) run in partnership with MIT Learn is an 8-week program on the foundations of Theory U, a process for transformative change that blends systems thinking, consciousness and wisdom traditions, and civic action. It is a “learning by doing" program where you get familiar with Theory U tools, methods, and frameworks and start cultivating your ability to apply them to your life and work. This is an online self-paced course complemented by synchronous live sessions bringing together thousands of change makers from around the world.
