On September 9-10, ProKG Professionals' Club will conduct an inaugural two-day workshop on "Adaptive Leadership” in partnership with the Center for Asia Leadership Institute (CALI). This workshop brings for the first time in Kyrgyzstan and CIS region a new framework on how to think, analyze, and exercise leadership.

This unique workshop program draws its inspiration from the world famous Adaptive Leadership (AL) framework taught at Harvard Kennedy School and voted by its alumni as transformative to their lives and careers. The framework helps participants diagnose the adaptive challenges and exercise leadership as change agents who can cross boundaries and build bridges. It focuses on critical mindset and skills to orchestrate adaptive and creative problem solving and develops the competencies and moral imagination to chart a path in uncertain and volatile environments. It helps participants distinguish between authority and leadership, as well as various types of leadership challenges. The curriculum is designed to apply the AL framework for the real context in which the participants live and work in Kyrgyzstan. This workshop is based on experiential learning process.
