So pleased to publish something *very* short & very simple about #collaboration: what it is, why it matters & how to do it! It pulls together years of learning, reports & frameworks into just a few pages. If you want the most important stuff read this! collaboratecic.com/insights-โ€ฆ

I'm exploring complex responsive processes as an alternative to systems thinking Esp as a lens for complexity in orgs It helps me translate what I have learned about relationships, behaviour and neuroscience to complexity This by @markwfoden is the clearest I've found:

The work of Ralph Stacey seems super useful in this A few quick links below Thanks @marco_eds for the 'complexity and orgs lunch and learn' learn, where Jemma introduced me to this!
Cynefin is powerful for identifying complexity What other models help you talk about what happens IN that complex space? (Esp interested in complexity inside orgs)
