How do you make decisions when your world is changing with the speed of social media, and you are inundated with a world of answers, choices, and other people’s opinions? What do you do when all the “off the shelf” answers are ok, but none of them is really what you are looking for? Do you settle for “just ok?” Do you go ahead and purchase the product and then spend untold resources making it fit your needs? In HSD we help you use Adaptive Action to design responses and interventions that fit the unique nature of your work and your business. We give you what it takes to look at challenges, weigh the options, based on what you see, and take action to move forward. Then you look around to see where that got you and to take the next step. We continue working, looking for what is true in our world and still useful to us, using that to continue to inform and fuel our work. Join us in this LVW to learn to Design When You Can’t Decide.
Teaching & LearningLead in Complexity
When we work in schools, we work to explain how complex systems work, and we engage in dialogue with people in the system to identify the patterns coherent with their shared identity, tasks, priorities, and practices. As a result of this deep dive into exploring their patterns, educators then identify options for action to generate and sustain the patterns they want to see.

Executive coaching is definitely not a game, but the issues clients bring to us are finite and infinite games – ones you try to “win” and ones you try to keep playing. It’s like the image above. If I had named it “My Mind” you would make the translation and possibly think “She’s feeling scattered and crazy.” The art piece is resolved in your mind (finite game). If I leave the art piece untitled, you can keep looking at it wondering what it is. Each time you look at it, based on the time in your life, the issues you are experiencing, etc., you might see something different (infinite game.) So, how does this relate to coaching our clients?

When the world changes as quickly as it does today, what you knew for certain yesterday may or may not be true today. Yesterday’s answers are stale and inaccurate by the time the email is opened today. The best you can do when life is so uncertain is to stand in inquiry, using questions to learn more, to make meaning, to support your action, and even to question your own answers. In HSD we use Adaptive Action and Pattern Logic to stand in inquiry as we make sense of the world and take our next wise actions.
