Adaptive Action Lab: Plan for Uncertainty in Complexity
March 19 - 20, 2018 | 09:00 - 16:30 (sast)
These programs both draw on complexity science. They are based in the theory and practice of human systems dynamics (HSD). Your guide will be Dr. Glenda Eoyang. Glenda is the founder of the field of HSD; leader of a world-wide network; and master teacher, researcher, and practitioner. In the program, you will:
- Learn principles and tools to see, understand, and influence strategic and operational planning in times of ultimate uncertainty
- Find a new, more sustainable, approach to all kinds of planning, including projects, strategy, operations, personal growth, and community development
- Practice what you learn as you plan the future for yourself and your organization
- Give and receive peer coaching to ensure that your learning is sustainable
- Discover a network of people who also seek simplicity in complexity

Adaptive Action Lab: Agile, Collaborative Change in Complexity
March 22 - 23, 2018 | 09:00 - 16:30 (sast)
Many people recognize the complex nature of change today, but few can help you make wise choices in the moments of chaos. Human systems dynamics (HSD) provides practical ideas and tools to help you thrive in complex change. We draw lessons from complexity science and from decades of successful practice in complex realities. In this Adaptive Action Lab you will practice using simple and powerful HSD tools. You will transform challenges of complex change into opportunities for agile action.
Your guide for this two-day Adaptive Action Lab will be Dr. Glenda Eoyang. Glenda is the founder of the field of HSD; leader of a world-wide network; and master teacher, researcher, and practitioner. In the program, you will:
- Learn principles and practices to engage with emergent change in complex environments
- Find a new and more agile approach to adapt to change for individuals, teams, organizations, and communities
- Practice what you learn as you plan Adaptive Action in your own changing context
- Give and receive peer coaching to ensure that your learning is sustainable
- Discover a network of people who, like you, seek simplicity in complexity

Faculty & Coaches
Dr. Glenda Eoyang works with public and private organizations to help them thrive in the face of overwhelming complexity and uncertainty. She is a pioneer in the field of human systems dynamics (HSD), which she founded. Through Human Systems Dynamic Institute, Glenda uses her Models and Methods to help others see patterns in the chaos that surrounds them, understand the patterns in simple and powerful ways, and take practical steps to shift chaos into order. Her clients include Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Oxfam International, Canada School of Public Service, Cargill, Fraser Health Authority (BC), and Roche/Genentech.
Glenda’s latest book, with co-author Royce Holladay, is Adaptive Action: Leveraging Uncertainty in Your Organization (Stanford University Press, April 2013).
