Creating and/or maintaining a strong community can be difficult when the world is changing as quickly and unpredictably as it is today. The current rate and degree of change bring pressure that increases the challenge at all scales. To connect with others and create strong, resilient communities, you have to be able to navigate the complexity of the 21st century.
Address issues of power and collaboration
Hold differences as you seek shared perspectives
Engage everyone in authentic and reciprocal ways
In this webinar you will learn a tool about engaging in generative ways that open space of innovation and connection in the midst of complex change. Use this tool to explore connections at all scales: interpersonal, organizational, and community.
Teaching & LearningCollaborate to Create Community
This is the second in a series of blogs where Royce Holladay and Mary Nations explore the dynamics of Generative Engagement.
In today’s blog, Royce and Mary invite you to explore specific system-wide patterns that they believe will emerge across a system that set conditions of shared identity, shared power, and shared voice.
Those of us who make our livings as teachers don’t like to admit it, but that is how most complex skills are developed—in real-world practice.
Thanks to all who joined us for the celebration of our 20th Anniversary on March 1. It was such fun to see old friends and hear stories about the past, present, and future of the HSD global community. They asked me to talk about how things have changed since 2003 when the Institute was founded. It would be easier to list the things that stayed the same, I am afraid. On the other hand, there are patterns and trends that have shifted the self-organizing processes of our community of praxis.

You encounter new perspectives and opportunities every day that challenge what you were taught about the world. You find that strategies for taking action often don’t work as well as they used to. Every day new books and approaches describe your most current challenges. They paint broad pictures of things you might do, but they don’t offer new guidance about how to take more effective action. HSD offers a distinctly different path for dealing with the complexity in your life, exploring deeply into the complexities you face, informing decisions about how to step into your next wise action.
Complexity in the world has been studied through multiple scientific perspectives. Different disciplines can study the same phenomenon and describe it in different ways. Descriptions can help us see complex patterns in new ways. They cannot, however, inform wise action unless they also explain underlying dynamics of complexity that shape human action and interaction.
In this month’s Live Virtual Workshop, Glenda Eoyang talks about particular concepts and perspectives she has used to inform and shape human systems dynamics. She shows you how to use HSD to embrace and leverage complexity to build adaptive capacity to face today’s intractable challenges.
Inquiry is the key to transformation. In a complex system, answers have short shelf-lives, but good questions serve you forever. Questions help you see a wicked challenge clearly, understand it from a new perspective, and find surprising options for transformative action. In this short video, Glenda Eoyang shares a simple practice to help you access the power of inquiry and tame your wicked issues. Try it and let us know how it works!
