Lean Agile Glasgow - Monthly Meetup

Don’t panic: ambiguity tolerance and the case for rewilding work

Modern work demands clarity, control and predictability - yet the world keeps serving up uncertainty. This session explores feral cognition - the ancient, intuitive intelligence we evolved to navigate the unknown.

Drawing on neuroscience, somatics and ecology, we’ll examine how ambiguity tolerance is suppressed in structured environments - and how to reawaken it.

Expect ideas like “soma-signaling” (how your body interprets risk before your brain), and “the ecology of choice” (why forests thrive and factories fail in complexity).

This isn’t about tools or frameworks - it’s about reclaiming a way of thinking that’s more instinctive, more adaptive and far more human. No roadmaps, just a guide for getting lost better.

Participant takeaways:

• Recognise how structure suppresses ambiguity tolerance and adaptive thinking
• Understand how emotions precede thoughts in uncertain decision-making
• Learn to attune to somatic signals before taking action
• Explore ecological models for decentralised, resilient team cognition
• Reclaim intuition as an evolved tool for modern complexity
