I’m moving these posts to Monday morning and will try to provide a theme each week to connect the five links. Enjoy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dave Snowden’s 12 Shibboleth’s of Christmas<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Back in 2015, Dave Snowden took on 12 aspects of organizational and corporate culture that were basically enemies of complexity thinking. \u00a0The list is still very valuable these days. \u00a0In each post Dave offers the problem and the way complexity theory helps you do better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Evaluation and complexity – lesson from 5 big evaluations in the UK<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n I’ve recently found the blog of Marcus Jenal, who is yet another guy who is saying a bunch of stuff that I say too. Here’s a piece he wrote reviewing his work with complexity and evaluation, starting with the question: “\u201cWhen is understanding complexity important for evaluation?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n Defining complexity as a messy human<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Another blog new to me is Human Current. They have a podcast which serves as a place for them to talk about and learn more about these ideas.\u00a0 This post is an index to some of their episodes that have helped them understand and and explain complexity science and complexity thinking.\u00a0 \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n Collective presencing applied<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n My friend Ria Baeck has been writing a book for years that combines her thinking about self, source, hosting and theory with harvests from the workshops and conversations she has hosted over the past decade.\u00a0 The book is being released like expressions of fine whisky, one barrel at a time at her blog.\u00a0 This chapter delves in complexity through Cynefin thusly:\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n I have already talked about\u00a0\u2018sourcing\u2019<\/a>, and\u00a0\u2018collective sourcing\u2019<\/a>\u00a0as\u00a0collective embodied revelation<\/em>. It takes some courage to learn to voice our subtle sensing, because we have to overcome our conditioned assumption that this is not \u2018real\u2019 or \u2018true\u2019 or \u2018useful\u2019 information. At the present juncture, though, I wish to give some attention to a next step that follows on from the subtle sensing: the precision of language and making (subtle) distinctions.\u00a0<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
