Build Adaptive Capacity

Adaptation may be the most important survival strategy for the twenty-first century. Economic, political, social, technological, and cultural change accelerate, and anyone who hesitates to adapt will die or become obsolete.

Forget the idea of risky action. The most high-risk strategy in the coming decade will be refusing to act. But not all action is created equal. Wise action that fuels adaptation requires a range of skills and tools, from mindfulness to objective observation; from innovation to relationship.

Adaptation leverages the power of individuals and groups in complex systems to help you see opportunity, understand options for action, choose wisely, assess results, and repeat. And that is the essence of Adaptive Capacity.

In Adaptive Action Labs, you will learn simple concepts and distinctions that help you see patterns quickly and influence them efficiently. Working with others, you will practice what you learn. Focusing on your own most sticky issues, you will reap the benefits of adaptation as you learn Adaptive Action.
