I’m super excited to announce a new online interactive series for Tech. Practitioners, Founders, Managers and Executives: The Tech Leaders Salon.
The series will be led by Mahmoud Rasmi (and co-hosted by me) the author of the book, “Philosophy for Business Leaders”.
When I started learning about systems thinking, complexity, philosophy and cybernetics, I found a ton of value from not just the blogposts/articles on these topics but also from the comments and interactions.
Direct messaging and zoom chats with the people writing about these ideas led to even greater learning. So, we decided to create an online forum for such conversations and learning to happen.
This 12-month series gathers founders, tech. leaders and practitioners to read, think, and discuss one text each month: spanning mainly books, essays, and the occasional documentary along with reading selections.
The goal is to integrate strategy, systems, culture, ethics, and humanistic insight, giving leaders a reflective forum beyond day-to-day execution.
Each monthly session combines:
(1) conceptual framing | (2) guided dialogue | (3) interdisciplinary exploration.
The series is completely free to participate for all the community-tier members of Cyb3rSyn Labs. Please keep an eye out for the schedule to be posted on the community portal in January.
