Beyond Prevention: The Philosophy of Provention


Listen Later

In this conversation, Dr. Nashay Lowe introduces the concept of Provention, a philosophy that goes beyond traditional prevention methods by focusing on designing systems that prevent conflict from arising in the first place. She emphasizes the importance of understanding the underlying human needs that drive conflict and advocates for a shift in mindset from reactive measures to proactive design. Through the Low Insights approach, organizations can build cultures that foster open dialogue, trust, and collaboration, ultimately leading to sustainable resolution and transformation.
