Overview
About the course
As embracing complexity is as much a perspective as a set of skills, the Embracing Uncertainty - Policymaking in Turbulent Times course at King's College London follows the principle of learning by doing, encompassing conceptual insights, practical application of the insights, and reflection on experiences.
The module is organised around a set of practical exercises that teaches you how to design a policy solution for a complex public issue of your choice. You will start with policy framing, then move on to a thinking exercise where you’ll need to consider the perspectives of different people working across the public sector. Finally, you will take the existing context into account and plan how to deal with unintended consequences during the policy delivery stage.
By doing these exercises, you will learn how to adapt your thinking to changing situations; how to balance between welcoming and challenging alternative views; and how to design a policy intervention to address a complex public issue.
