HSD Institute and University of St. Thomas: Partnering together to help you change your world

The world around us is changing in dramatic ways. How adaptive are we as authentic leaders in this new environment? What kind of changes can we affect - personally, professionally and globally - as we integrate our learning about adaptive systems and complexity into our human experience?

Human systems dynamics (HSD) helps us see and influence patterns in human relationships.

Using complexity science to help us understand what is happening in everyday dynamical interactions, HSD opens multiple options or action. It embraces the traditional approaches we know, offers new tools and techniques, and adds new insights into why some interventions are successful and others are not. With HSD, we can view situations from a systemic level, and move beyond symptoms to address complex causal relationships for individuals, teams, organizations, and communities. Learn to use many different tools to see and influence patterns as they emerge, and achieve greater success across all levels. Human Systems Dynamics Institute exists to facilitate the development of theory and practice in this emerging field.

Who can benefit from using HSD?

Professionals in organization development and human resources
Internal and external consultants, facilitators, coaches and trainers
Agents for change in any field that requires working well with people to achieve goals

The work of HSD is currently being applied in such diverse areas as organization development, peace making/conflict resolution, education, evaluation, performance management, leadership, and personal growth/development. Practitioners around the world are using the principles of HSD to enrich their work, teach clients and students, and expand the effectiveness of their individual fields of practice.

The University of St. Thomas School of Education educates professionals who, as learning and change specialists, help others develop individual, team and organizational potential. Just like you, their students are busy professionals and leaders in many fields. With day, evening and online classes, as well as off-campus programs close to you, they have the flexibility you need to succeed.

HSD Institute and University of St. Thomas have now partnered together to bring you the very best in classroom and online learning courses in human systems dynamics.
