May 4, 2017 Leadership just “ain’t what it used to be!” It’s no longer lone domain of the C-Suite; the three-piece suits; or the power deals that happen around polished tables. It’s no longer about black and white answers or one path to success. Decades ago, leaders talked in terms of either/or and yes/no. In the last couple of decades, they began to talk about “both/and”, and “maybe.” That worked for a while, but today, even that level of openness is not sufficient for informed decision making and action today. HSD offers a way to think about the multiple competing forces that create tensions in our systems, and how leadership of the future will be defined as the ability to navigate those tensions to find the greatest fit for the whole system.

April 6, 2017 In the complexity of the 21st century, you can’t create regulations and procedures to inform every action. Organizations and communities that attempt to govern by creating more rules crumble under the weight of the infrastructure required to maintain such a system. To thrive in a complex, diverse landscape, healthy organizations and communities rely on a short list of Simple Rules to inform action and decision making for individuals, groups, and teams; to inform policy making and implementation; and to create shared expectations and coherence across global communities. Human systems Dynamics proposes a short list of Simple Rules to help you thrive in the complexity of the 21st century.
