Plan in Uncertainty
November 3, 2016
Certainty and control frame thought and action in the global north and west.

Adaptive Planning—long-, medium-, and short-term—provides theory and practice for responsible planning, even when prediction and control are impossible. Learn this simple, robust method for planning in emergent environments.
