An Adaptive Action Lab (AA Lab) brings the best of consulting and training into a single event. It is a work session, as opposed to a training session. As a participant, you define and work on your most intractable challenge. Then you learn about human systems dynamics (HSD) as you apply your new learning to frame your challenge in a way that points to your best next wise action. You leave the session with two tangible outcomes. First, you have a clear plan for moving forward in your challenge. Second, you carry with you a new perspective and effective models and methods that help you address your next challenge.
Join us in an AA Lab to learn how HSD can help you leverage the complexity of your challenges to create powerful energy for change.

In simpler times, change came slowly, if at all. Consultants could learn approaches in graduate school and use them throughout their careers. They took a solution that worked with one client and confidently transferred it to another. In the current unpredictable and uncertain world, that no longer works. Today, consultants must be master learners and experts at inquiry. HSD-informed consultants bring adaptive capacity to help clients tame the wicked issues that emerge from their complex environments.
