What Works
Here the group did not explore so much as identify complexity
concepts members of the group have used successfully in their organizations.
- Critical Mass - working to find and engage others.
- Metaphors & Images - the power of the complexity
metaphors and images to convey key concepts. In this group and in
some organizations they have become part of the daily language, have
helped us see more fully, and given people more confidence in what
they know.
- Action & Reflection – when combined are especially
powerful.
- Stacey Matrix - really helped us and others make
sense of complexity concepts in a manner respectful
of traditional practices.
- 15% - Gareth Morgan’s way of emphasizing that we
can, through action, make a bigger difference than we know. This has
helped many people move from learning/thinking to action
- Simple Rules/Min Specs - giving people space to create.
- Giving Up Traditional Control - when this struggle
is confronted the system can really open up.
- Authentic, Honest & Caring Relationships – in
a human cas these are the kinds of behaviors and values which lead
to creative, innovative cultures. '
- The Paradox Of Acting Without Consensus And Being
Aware Of Others- not being paralyzed by a need for consensus before
action while being ever more aware of each other so as to act and
learn together.
- Tuning To The Edge – through the use of information
flow, connectiveness, and diversity, using power carefully and managing
anxiety.
- Using Diversity Within The System – matching the
degree of diversity in a group or organization to the issue, environment
being explored gives you adaptability.
