Collaboration: The Human Face of Systems Thinking

Whether we see it or not, collaboration is central to all of the work we do. Our creativity and productivity almost always depend on others--not just on the members of our immediate team, but on elaborate, cross-boundary networks and human systems beyond our imagination. In this delightfully interactive presentation, Peter introduces an exercise that illustrates how, when you identify and reflect on your networks, the networks get stronger--something that has positive, practical consequences. Use this presentation with your own team or with a client organization to raise their awareness of the necessity of healthy social systems.

Rocking the Boat Without Going Overboard: How "Tempered Radicals" Can Steer a Course for Change

Organizations serious about creating adaptive, future-oriented workplaces must learn to value the contributions of "tempered radicals," those everyday leaders who act as crucial sources of new ideas, alternative perspectives, and organizational learning. While their differences often put them at odds with the mainstream organizational culture, Meyerson describes how these agents of change have become adept at balancing conformity with ingenuity to "rock the boat" without losing their own footing. She offers stories, drawn from a variety of organizations, that at once give heart to the tempered radicals among us and provide guidance for organizations interested in nurturing the kinds of emergent, grassroots activities that lead to meaningful change.

Presencing: Leading from the Future As It Emerges

In his riveting conference presentation, Otto shared a "sensing and presencing" process that allows leaders to anticipate and realize future potential for their organizations and to generate positive results from disruptive patterns of change. Consider these related resources for exploring how "Theory U" can help you deal with complex change even when you may not yet fully know the problem, the solution, or the key players required to be successful in a given situation.
