Human Systems Dynamics (HSD) helps you see, understand, and influence the patterns of interaction and decision making that shape your world. Last month I introduced a set of four principles that help you understand change in the complexity of human systems.
Human systems are complex and adaptive. They are open to multiple forces that interact in unpredictable and interdependent ways to shape patterns of interaction and decision making. At any moment the number of differences in the system is infinite.
Global reach, massive diversity, fast pace of change, interconnection, interdependence, unintended consequences, surprise, disruption . . . How many ways can we describe the unpredictability and confusion we face today?
Manage Strategic Change
In HSD we believe that the tension in a system is what drives its decision making and action taking. For instance, individuals take action to relieve or shift tension as it builds in response to events around them. Harsh feedback creates tension as an individual balances that against a personal desire to perform well.
Teaching & Learning
invest many hours and hopes in online communication. My guess is that you do, too. Virtual connections open any-time and any-where networks for thinking and action. They create opportunities for creative engagement with people around the world.
