Adaptive Action Labs

HSD is readying itself to move into its future, and we are experimenting with ways to connect deeply within the community and keep learning together. As part of this adaptive action approach, we are inviting all practitioners and the HSD-curious to join us in a series of six gatherings exploring a core HSD concept, Simple Rules.

When people tell you to think outside the box, they don't tell you where the box ends and the future begins. That is why we find ourselves so often trapped in our own blind spots and assumptions, constrained by our ordinary (Newtonian) worldviews. The nonlinear sciences complexity and chaos, as well as Integral theory shine a light on those dark corners of reality, as well as the habits of mind that keep us stuck. In ancient times, maps of the world would show sea monsters and dragons on the edge of the known world. In this program, we call such mind-blowing and habitually intractable realities dragons. Hence, The Dragons of Transformation.

Compassion is difficult and exhausting work at the best of times. In these times of turbulence and uncertainty, the challenges are magnified. We know it is hard enough for one person to take effective action in our complex world.  Bringing a group together in collective action often seems intractable. At the Charter for Compassion, in collaboration with Human Systems Dynamics Institute, we are convinced that “nothing is intractable,” and transforming our hope for compassion into effective action is no exception.

In a complex world, each moment is different from the last; each person brings a unique set of knowledge, experience, and insights; and no two challenges are exactly alike. In this Adaptive Actin Lab, join Glenda and Royce as they open a discussion of the challenges you might bring with your unique challenge.

In this program, Miriam Bayés, HSD-certified professional and ORSC-certified coach, shares a simple, powerful approach to systems-informed coaching.

The future of humanity and the earth will emerge from a complex adaptive system of complex adaptive systems! In this Adaptive Action Lab, we explore the intersection of two of the most significant: Wellbeing and Economy.

Do you wish to understand and work more effectively in complex organizations? Human Systems Dynamics (HSD) builds your adaptive capacity to succeed in a world of complexity and uncertainty.

In this Adaptive Action Lab, Royce Holladay, a leader in the field of HSD, shares a simple, powerful approach to systems-informed coaching.
