Complex change cannot be predicted or controlled. It comes in bursts amid long periods of stillness and silence. It happens for individuals, groups, or whole communities in different ways and at different times. It brings unintended consequences and wonderful surprises.
In this session, we will explore the hows and whys of complex change and share some fundamental tools to see, understand, and influence it.

Every complex system sits on top of irresolvable tensions: speed and quality; identity and flexibility; tradition and innovation; centralized and distributed; and many more. We used to manage these tensions by tradeoffs and compromise, but that didn’t always work. As uncertainty and complexity grow, those tactics lose even more of their power. Instead, HSD helps you embrace underlying tensions to generate energy and opportunity.

True, sustainable, success relies on the fit between external situations and internal choices.
This session explores three systemic features (sensitive, responsive, robust) that lead to success in a “fit for function” world.
