Voices from the Field:
An Introduction to Human Systems Dynamics
Glenda Eoyang, Ph.D., Executive Director of the HSD Institute, describes the purpose of the book. As the field of human systems dynamics is emerging, Voices from the Field was written to help practitioners and theoreticians explore new models and tools to integrate into their own practices, as well as provide insight into innovative applications. The overall purpose of the book is to generate new questions and options to move the field forward.
The book is useful to consultants interested in learning how to integrate HSD into their practices, students of HSD-related degree programs and leaders interested in applying an emerging yet proven theory to the management of rapidly changing environments.
The contributions to Voices from the Field were selected to demonstrate the best of the working principles that are emerging from the study of HSD. From exploring patterns of discussion to understanding and using HSD to establish a network for learning and professional development, each of the 12 chapters provides thoughtful insight into the practice of HSD.
Voices from the Field shows new ways of understanding the ecology of human beings in industrial societies, said Dr. Jack Cohen, author and educator at the University of Warwick. Adds Kristine Quade, nationally-recognized change consultant and author, The next generation of organization development theory and practice will emerge at the intersection of the new sciences and the social sciences. Human systems dynamics is a promising place to start that evolution.
