Workshop: The entrepreneur’s mindset – shaping your future with the Effectuation approach

Many of our thinking and decision-making habits are based on forecasts about the future. But what if the outcome is unpredictable because markets and general circumstances are constantly changing? How can I deal with such situations as a business decision-maker, as a manager, or even as a private individual? The Effectuation approach provides an answer – it is a method that complements conventional planning and is particularly suitable for managing the non-foreseeable, as it happens in startup founding, career planning, leadership or even project management.
