Systems science shows that the real significance of diversity lies not in the number of different entities and their differences, but how they interact. Diversity is the dynamic driver for greater systems complexity, integration and efficiency. In a coral reef ecosystem or tropical rainforest, it is the increasing cooperation among the species expressed in mutual assistance and symbioses that make their high levels of productivity possible. Similarly, human diversity unaccompanied by values of justice, cooperation and reciprocity can produce the negative reactions we see today. Recent research has suggested that higher levels of ethnically-diverse civilization are catalysed by ethical values from religion, building trust and providing the energy for new levels of organization and efficiency. Businesses and communities can follow this example. Recent guidance from the international Bahá’í administrative body invites us to explore what a new economic paradigm might look like in practice.

Take responsibility, lead & develop self-agency
Embrace complexity & make sense of the world
Engage in conversation
Targeted Audience:
The webinar is for anyone interested in becoming a conversational leader.
Why do communication strategies often not work? How is a vision different than a mission statement? How can marketing materials, websites, and social media interactions reflect this vision?

Join a conversation with leadership development specialists and coaches about what
it means to embrace and embody sustainable leadership. Specifically the conversation
will explore how nonprofit leaders:
• Develop their inner selves in order to do their outer work
• Maintain passion in the midst of sometimes dis-passionate tasks
• Develop practices that nurture personal sustainability
• Translate care of whole self to people and organizations with whom they work
Technology in general -- and the internet and social media specifically -- have changed the way we work. And not just by shifting the mediums through which we communicate, but by changing the very nature of what we communicate. Technology is blurring the line between our personal and professional selves and changing our expectations of each other and our organizations.
Each nonprofit’s story is more than a mission statement, a website or an annual report. The story also includes the people inside and those on the front lines. It's how individuals represent the mission statement and organizational values that bring the vision to life online and out in the world. Blending individual and organizational stories is crucial to success in the digital age.
So, how can organizations and individuals work together to do this?
Nancy Lyons and Meghan Wilker of the Geek Girls Guide will speak about the intersection of technology and humanity, and the role of individuals in representing an organization.
Shared and effective community leadership can be helped or hindered by our conceptions of and experiences with people from different identity groups. Add to that the reality that our experiences are embedded in larger social identity structures and dynamics within communities that in many cases are reinforcing negative patterns. So how can social identity best be raised and addressed in community leadership development programs? How can ideas about social identity expand our thinking about community and about leadership? We are on a journey to develop a curriculum that can serve as a resource to community leaders (and by leaders we mean everyone contributing to leadership, not just those with a formal leadership role). Specifically we aim to build awareness about social identity dynamics in people and communities to enhance the ability of individuals and groups to work together more effectively in order to achieve "common good" community outcomes.
Session Description
Nonprofit leaders working to promote a more democratic and just society are grappling with how to adapt legacy organizations founded in an “analog” era to new realities shaped by the power of networks and technology. Concurrently, a growing number of grantmakers seek to support the leaders and organizations navigating these shifts – which can require funding new approaches to the work.
This interactive session will explore concrete examples of how pioneering social justice leaders have embraced technology and new forms of collaboration (like engaging unlikely allies) to advance immigration and criminal justice reform. We will also explore the role of the funder in supporting this leadership journey, and implications for others seeking to advance equity and inclusion.
The panel will include a range of perspectives from a funder, Daniel Lee, Executive Director, Levi Strauss Foundation; a next-generation civil rights leader, Vincent Pan, Executive Director, Chinese for Affirmative Action; Lateefah Simon, program director, Rosenberg Foundation and social impact expert, Heather McLeod Grant. In addition to their roles, the speakers are also diverse in terms of race, sexual orientation, gender, and experience.

Creating a Culture of Empowerment (Twin Cities DrupalCamp 2015)Todd Ross Nienkerk
Creating a Culture of Empowerment: How the open-source philosophy can be applied to management and organizational culture.
Drawing on more than 15 years of leadership at Four Kitchens and other creative organizations, Todd Nienkerk will explain why empowerment is the foundation of all successful teams and demonstrate how the open-source philosophy as modeled by the Drupal community can be applied to organizational culture.
What is empowerment? Why does it matter? How can an organization create a culture of empowerment?
The guiding principles of empowerment:
* Build a company you would want to work for.
* Give people control over their destiny.
* Make trust the center of your culture.
How to cultivate empowerment:
* Personal brands. You shouldn't be afraid that people will leave. If you’re afraid people will become "too good," then you’re not offering something they want — and you know it.
* Go virtual. Allow your team the flexibility to work from home — or anywhere in the world.
* Adopt agile methodologies. Allow teams to self-organize around projects and problems.
* And much, much more...

I presented and facilitated a discussion on this topic to post graduate class in UTS for the MBITM program. The class was well received and I enjoyed making this deck and facilitating this discussion.
Matrixed structure is characterized by employees having a dual reporting relationships. Bhaskar Thyagarajan explores ways to improve team efficiency and collaboration in complex matrixed organizations.
Leading in these tough times is not easy. What worked in the past doesn't help us. New capabilities can enable leaders to work with increasingly unpredictable conditions with confidence.
Learning to draw on multiple perspectives helps us solve complex and complicated problems.
It comes down to developing relationships, optimizing interactions and outcomes. How we talk can expand our leadership in positive ways.
Abstract: Public Lecture Da Vinci
Dr Rica Viljoen
The theory that will underpin the public lecture deals with the complex problem of how individuals, groups, organisations and societies handle changing life conditions. Thinking systems in people, organisations and society help us to understand the adaptive capability of changing environmental conditions. These conditions in the environment study the following:
• Worldview: messaging and pattern recognition
• Degree of complexity: exiting or emerging codes of thinking
• Command and control: the inherent flexibility
• Organising Principles: the intensity of the condition
• Elaborating stream implications: the view and implications of the past, present and future time line
• Potential: the functionality or health of the ecology
Insights gained from a meta-study on leadership will be presented. These insights lead to the publication of the book Organisational Change and Development. Multi-cultural research conducted in 42 different countries, with more than 100 000 participants, will be shared. These ethnographical insights will be interwoven with the Interesting findings from various Da Vinci PhD-studies to present a rich narrative on the human condition. The purpose of the lecture is to uniquely offers the application of diversity of thought and contexual understanding in various geo-political, industry domains organisational spaces.
The stories that will be shared, was lived by leaders in multi-cultural settings. The organisational and societal development interventions that will be described, was facilitated by Rica and/or her co-researchers. One such case will deal with the successful implementation of co-determination – a unique way of partnering between workers, management and trade unions in an effort to optimise stakeholder relationships and conduct sustainable business in South Africa and other emerging economies. An effort will be made to present enough rich narratives for the participant to be triggered, inspired and even moved to action to make the world a better place for all.
The following books will be available after the lecture:
• Organisational Change and Development (Viljoen, 2015)
• Employee Engagement in a South African Context (Nienaber and Martins, 2016)
• Organisational Diagnostics (Martins, Martins and Viljoen, 2017)
A presentation I did for Awareness Networks around what organizations need to consider for successful collaboration initiatives. Several concepts and models are included from by book, The Collaborative Organization (which talks about these concepts in far greater detail). Overall the presentation should help guide viewers on understanding where they are in the collaborative spectrum and what they need to do to move forward (based on the maturity model).

Homily: The Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity Sunday 2024.docxJames Knipper
Countless volumes have been written trying to explain the mystery of three persons in one true God, leaving us to resort to metaphors such as the three-leaf clover to try to comprehend the Divinity. Many of us grew up with the quintessential pyramidal Trinity structure of God at the top and Son and Spirit in opposite corners. But what if we looked at this ‘mystery’ from a different perspective? What if we shifted our language of God as a being towards the concept of God as love? What if we focused more on the relationship within the Trinity versus the persons of the Trinity? What if stopped looking at God as a noun…and instead considered God as a verb? Check it out…
In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.
