In complex times, issues are unpredictable and ambiguous, requiring groups to take creative action to move forward. As a facilitator, you need tools that engage groups in exploring the complexities they face.
Human Systems Dynamics (HSD) offers tools for facilitators to help groups maintain their forward momentum. From workday meetings to large-group engagements. HSD can help set the stage for creative, productive action.
In this online Adaptive Action Lab, you will
- See possibility in patterns of group relationships
- Set conditions for groups to make sense and take action together
- Explore the Simple Rules that shape facilitation in unpredictable situations

Royce Holladay has been working to support people as they navigate change for over 30 years. With a Master's degree in counseling, she began learning about the dynamics of personal change. Since learning about Human Systems Dynamics, she builds on and expands those skills in multiple areas of her work and personal life. She works with individuals of all ages, supporting them in the challenges of living, working, and playing in the complexity of today's world. Over the past decade, Royce has co-authored five books based on Human Systems Dynamics, including the book she and Glenda co-authored, Adaptive Action: Leveraging Uncertainty in Your Organization. Her most recent books are a series of brief guides designed to help people apply HSD principles to specific areas of work in human systems, such as coaching, instructional design, and facilitation.
