Consider how political, social, and economic pressures shape patterns of collaboration in your world.

When someone asks me for a one-sentence description of what I do, I generally say I help people and organizations deal with the challenges of complex and rapid change. And that is what our models and methods do. They help you see, understand, and influence patterns of decision making and interaction, so that you can take informed action to respond in your changing world.

Each year at this time, we plan the Adaptive Action Labs (AALabs) for the next year. We consider a number of factors in selecting the topics. What challenges are clients talking about? What questions do we hear from Associates? Which of the AALabs has been successful in the past, and which ones should be put aside for a year or two? Ultimately, after these questions, the anchor we always come back to is this: What topics will best help individuals and groups live out the HSD Vision?

This is the next in a series of blog articles where Royce Holladay and Mary Nations explore dynamics of Generative Engagement. The specific focus of this piece is to apply an HSD lens to patterns of diversity and engagement.

We learn a great deal from the gifted professionals who come to us as learners.  We learn the most when our programs include Adaptive Action Labs.  In these facilitated sessions, people bring their most wicked issues, learn and apply HSD models and methods, and leave with practical and compelling action plans.
