Manage Strategic Change
Finding patterns across many stories isn't easy, and it is often misleading. Active Sensemaking automates the process and also ensures that the patterns stay true to the tellers' intentions.
Build Adaptive Capacity
In HSD, we think about resilience as “capacity to adapt and maintain system functioning in the face of the uncertainty and turbulence of complex change.” In this blog post, Royce explores three important lessons we’ve learned in talking with people about their need for and experiences with resilience in recent times.
A few years ago I was doing some informal coaching as a colleague was going through significant life transitions. She wanted help thinking about possibilities and directions as she stepped into new areas of work.

“How do I help other people use the tools and perspectives of human systems dynamics (HSD) if they’ve never heard of it, or if they do not know much about Pattern Logic or complex change?“

We know the differences that determine potential energy in batteries, rolling balls, waterfalls, and bouncing springs. We also know how to transform that energy into work to accomplish the practical work of living in the real world. What if we had the same kind of intelligence about the potential energy in human systems? What if we could harvest the energy in human systems to generate the cultural, physical, and emotional work of individual belonging and collective wellbeing? Three simple practices allow you to see the energy hidden in differences among people, understand the generative potential of that energy, and take intentional action to set conditions for people to become all they can and choose to be. This workshop demonstrates how the theory and the practice of HSD prepare you to transform yourself and the communities you call home.
