Organisations around the world increasingly recognise an urgent need for new kinds of expertise to face the challenges and complexities of the 21st century.
That expertise is more than just a technical understanding of emerging technologies — it is also a critical awareness of how these technologies interact with wider cultural, social, economic, political, and ecological systems. The School of Cybernetics is bringing the transdisciplinary practice of cybernetics to the world through innovative research-informed Learning Experiences for industry, government, and communities.

A short section on how we collaborate with B2B partners to develop bespoke offerings. Include a call to action inviting them to get in touch to talk about their own needs.
Our Educational Approach#
We employ an approach that is highly participatory, recognising that traditional “chalk and talk” training is unlikely to succeed in creating organisational change. Instead, we introduce tools and concepts that can be applied in learners’ own contexts and provide opportunities for learners to build their confidence by engaging with these tools in a safe learning environment and in dialogue with their peers.
Our innovative approach to education has resulted in being shortlisted for the prestigious “Developing Emerging Skills and Competencies Award by QS Reimagine Education”.
