The document describes an Adaptive Action Conversation on leadership capacity presented by the Human Systems Dynamics Institute. The conversation introduced the Institute's theory of change and explored leadership in complexity. It encouraged participants to see, understand, and influence patterns and connections within their systems in order to take adaptive action. The conversation provided resources from the Institute to help participants improve their leadership capacity.

People are always TALKING about the problems of losing knowledge, but doing little about mitigating it. This presentation to the Australian HR Institute highlights what CAN be DONE to make opportunities from this problem. It highlights organisations that are successfully transferring knowledge to stimulate a more productive future.
More Autonomous Teams Using Behavioral Marker Systems - A Tool for Guided Sel...Daniel Walsh
How do we scale the ability of Agile coaches and Scrum Masters to help teams change their behaviors and adopt new ways of interacting? In most Scrum team ceremonies, there are behaviors and anti-patterns that constrain team performance. How do we develop coaches, Scrum Masters, and the team members themselves to catch and correct behavior that negatively affect team performance?
This session introduces participants to behavioral markers - observable behaviors that contribute to superior or substandard performance within a work environment. Behavioral marker systems are based on Crew Resource Management research from aviation and other high-stakes teamwork domains. Behavioral marker systems act as both scaffolding and mirror that allows teams to reflect on their own behaviors. The session balances the theory with a mini-case study and "how to" guide for participants to take back to work and try for themselves.

Purposeful Community and Change Leadership for the 21st Century
June 29, 10:30am – noon, Room: Union A
Purposeful Community touches all aspects of the learning process. The four components of Purposeful Community will be explored in relation to increasing student achievement and growth. Participants will learn about the phases of the change-leadership process in the Ohio Appalachian Collaborative (called Enhancing Leadership Quality for Collaborative Action Impact). A mindset-management approach to leadership and delivery models will be shared, which will assist participants in creating a plan for Purposeful Community and Change Leadership in their own school or district.

Leading and Managing Through the Design of EnvironmentsMichael Hamman
These slides are from a webinar which George Schlitz and I conducted in February 2013. In this presentation, we talked about 'environment design' as a management practice for catalyzing the capacity for organizational agility.
Environment design constitutes a set of very practical management practices which reflect, nevertheless, a recognition of that social systems (i.e. organizations and companies) are inherently complex and therefore call for an entirely new paradigm for management.

How to Lead Agile Organizations Through ComplexityDaniel Walsh
Leaders need more than a set of recipes, handpicked case studies, and so called ‘best practices’ to affect change and fundamentally shift their organizations. This session will introduce participants to the Cynefin framework and demonstrate how leaders at every level can use it to make sense of the world in order to take effective action. Cynefin is a situational leadership framework that guides work, decision making, and management actions across environments with various degrees of uncertainty and strategic foresight.
While many seasoned leaders readily embrace adaptive approaches, Cynefin explains why adaptive methods and resilient designs work particularity well in complex, uncertain environments. The session will also dive into complexity-informed methods and practices that will enhance a leader’s ability to navigate wicked problems and opportunities alike. The session will feature real-world examples, lessons learned, and mini-case studies on how to apply these ideas in the context of an Agile and Lean transformation.
Cynefin is a surprisingly simple framework that can be drawn from memory on a napkin, yet the rich discussions it unlocks for a leadership team are profound and serve as radical catalyst for change.

The Kanban Iceberg: How do you help teams for whom Kanban is simply card walls?Matthew Philip
Presentation as delivered to the Lean Kanban France 2014 conference, November 5, 2014
"The Kanban Iceberg: How do you help teams for whom Kanban is simply card walls?"
For many teams, kanban is an iceberg: They see only the single practice of visualization, but the mass of the system is below the surface in the form of the other practices, principles and values. This experience report details the journey that one company took to break the barrier of a wide but shallow kanban implementation at scale.
