Working with complexity invites a shift in our thinking and mindset. We will work with and apply these mindset shifts in our collaboration while understanding that each requires incremental growth as we move from one end of the spectrum and towards another.
“Very real crises mark our time. And as much as we might like it otherwise, it appears that doing what we have always done, only harder, will not solve them.”—Charles Johnston
From Solutions to Iteration: Approaches to systems change require a continuous iteration between theory, concepts and practice as we try “solutions” and adapt based on learning.
