Plan in Uncertainty
March 2, 2017
Traditionally we think of planning in organizations and communities as the work of those in charge. Strategic planning has been the task of the leader—with or without stakeholder engagement. In worst cases, engagement in strategic planning meant. “Do whatever it takes to achieve the goals.” In complex adaptive systems, decentralized planning engages individuals and groups in local decisions for faster response, shared accountabilities, and increased adaptability. Human systems dynamics offers a planning approach that engages energy and commitment at all scales of the system. In Strategic Adaptive Action, wherever you stand in the system, you have information and authority to see, understand, and influence patterns around you to fit with the direction and priorities of the whole system.

The Learning Triangle, as a model, represents the interplay and interdependence of what you “know” and what you “do.” It describes the relationship between using theory to inform experience and action, and using what you learn from experience and action to inform theory. That relationship and how it plays itself out for a learner is the definition of praxis. As a method, the Learning Triangle provides insights that can inform your action as you create a more engaging and productive learning ecology for others to build their own praxis.
