Build Adaptive Capacity
In today’s complex and fast-moving landscape, we need tools to help us imagine new, unique responses in each new challenge. We hear from clients and participants in our courses that HSD models and methods help them do that.
Build Adaptive Capacity
What’s the hidden challenge to changing patterns? In a year-long Adaptive Action project, we are exploring that question. Wonder what you might think about it?

Racism and Othering continue to be wicked and controversial patterns to discuss and navigate, particularly for those deeply and directly affected by these patterns. Although there isn’t an easy, universally-accepted method for eliminating racism and othering yet, there’s something about the freedom to share authentic stories and impacts that makes it a more realistic/attainable possibility.

Radical Rules for Schools provides a path for seeing, understanding, and influencing the dynamics that shape patterns of generative teaching and learning. Using the principles of human systems dynamics, this practical book helps build adaptive capacity for individuals and groups. The rules change behaviors, and the behaviors transform patterns as educators adapt to the challenges and changes they face today. The authors recommend a short list of simpleyet radicalrules to guide decision making and action to set conditions for generative teaching and learning for students, faculty, administrators, boards, and families.

We all know a simple, structured process for making decisions. We also know when and how that process fails. The simple step-by-step falls apart when change is fast, information is unreliable, and perspectives are multiple. In the 1990s decision scientists named the “garbage can” approach to explain the real world of decision making in action, but this random approach is not fast or robust enough to respond to challenges today or tomorrow.
HSD acknowledges the complex and emergent dynamics of decision making and provides a tool to help make it explicit and reasonable. This session introduces the Decision Map and gives you a chance to practice using it on your own most wicked challenges, whether you are new to HSD or have been using HSD at home, at work, or at play.
