Why is it so, that today's challenges increasingly fall between stools?
How to lead horizontally across organizational boundaries without a formal authority and mandate?
Horizontal Leadership Managing Change And ComplexityGunnar Westling
Often, complex challenges tend to fall between stools. Thus, to successfully cope with such challenges, you have to lead horizontally across internal and external boundaries.
Skanska 20111021 horizontal leadership, managing change and complexity handoutGunnar Westling
The document discusses the challenges of horizontal leadership across organizational boundaries. It notes that more business challenges are found between organizational boxes rather than within them. It also discusses how to lead horizontally without formal authority. Some key challenges discussed include creating value from the "interpersonal mush" that necessarily results from horizontal collaborations, and addressing the different experiences, thoughts, feelings, and perspectives of those involved. The document argues that mastering horizontal leadership requires understanding one's network and the different views within it. It recommends clarity in distinguishing observations, thoughts, feelings, and perspectives to overcome challenges.

This document discusses frameworks for leading organizational change, including positive deviancy and the diffusion of innovation. It outlines a positive deviancy process that defines problems, determines common practices, discovers positive outliers, and designs activities to expand successful solutions. The diffusion of innovation model is also summarized, explaining how different groups adopt changes at different rates from innovators to laggards. Finally, an 8-step organizational change process is presented that establishes urgency, forms a coalition, develops a vision, launches pilots, communicates the vision, consolidates improvements, widens support, and embeds changes.

The document describes a LEGO workshop used to demonstrate the Cynefin framework. It outlines four activities where participants build with LEGOs and then discuss their experiences. The activities increase in complexity from building structures with simple rules to more ambiguous scenarios. This is used to illustrate the different domains in the Cynefin framework - simple, complicated, complex, and chaotic. The document concludes by discussing how the Cynefin framework can be applied to understand contexts and respond appropriately, and provides resources for further information.

Facilitating Complexity: Methods & Mindsets for Exploration William Evans
This document outlines methods and mindsets for facilitating exploration. It discusses assumptions around facilitation, setting boundaries, contextual awareness, and mapping problems. It then covers techniques like externalization, divergence, convergence, and ritual dissent to generate and refine ideas. The goal is to guide groups through a praxis of purposeful action by starting with the context, using tight iterative cycles, and applying constraints to spur novel solutions. The overall approach emphasizes reflection, abstraction, displacement of ideas, and experimentation to solve complex problems in a collaborative way.

Complexity, Collaboration and UnconferencingGeoff Brown
Geoff Brown discusses focusing on solutions rather than problems to enable change. He advocates using new approaches like "unconferencing" conferences to invite collaborative content and value non-experts. Understanding complexity is also important, as is recognizing that human behavior is complexly influenced by social networks. Solutions should be the focus through approaches like appreciative inquiry and positive psychology.
Leading in Paradox: An introduction to polaritiesCheryl Doig
We live in increasingly complex times. Such times require leaders to be adaptive and flexible, to accept that there may not be a ‘right’, ‘wrong’, or ‘single’ answer, and to be comfortable with uncertainty. This slideshare introduces leaders to understanding the difference between problems and polarities. It aims to start the conversation rather than provide the tools and strategies for leading in paradox.
Re-defining leadership post quake: Self organising leaders embedded in commun...Chris Jansen
This document discusses redefining leadership in communities after a disaster like an earthquake. It suggests that leadership is best carried out by people embedded within communities who self-organize to address issues. The document provides examples of values that guide community leadership, such as equality, social justice, and compassion. It also discusses different terms that could be used instead of "leader", such as facilitator, animator, or weaver. The focus is on leadership as an action rather than a position, and how leaderless organizations can be unstoppable through networks and collaboration.
I was asked by Geelong College to present on Sustainability. I am not a scientist or climate change expert, so I decided to focus my presentation on the stuff I know best. This is a presentation about learning to make the transition to a more more sustainable lifestyle, business, school community or wahtever. In advance, apologies for the 'clutter' on a few of the slides.
The document discusses various models and perspectives of decision making, including the rational model, bounded rationality, incrementalism, organizational procedures, politics, and garbage can model. It also discusses naturalistic decision making and the multiple perspectives approach. The multiple perspectives approach considers technical, organizational, individual, ethical and aesthetic viewpoints. The document then provides an example scenario of a school principal trying to increase student attendance. It also discusses the Cynefin framework for classifying problems as simple, complicated, complex, chaotic or disorder.
2013 EARCOS #3 Shifting toxic culture to ownership cultureChris Jansen
Workshop #3 of 4 at the East Asian Regional Council of Overseas Schools Leadership Conference in Bangkok in November 2013 – over 1000 principals and leaders of international schools from throughout Asia.
Jon Hildebrand gives a non-technical talk about the cultural aspects of DevOps. He discusses that culture is immensely important for DevOps initiatives and that changing behaviors is key to establishing a new culture. Some cultural aspects highlighted include moving from a blame culture to one of learning from failures through practices like blameless post-mortems. He also emphasizes balancing the "golden triangle" of development, operations, and security through collaboration and shared responsibilities between teams.
This document discusses ways to grow and strengthen entrepreneurial ecosystems. It outlines four constants of great startup communities: 1) being entrepreneur-led, 2) inclusiveness, 3) rallying points like events and programs, and 4) long-term perspective. Specific strategies are provided, such as making sure the ecosystem is bottom-up driven by entrepreneurs' wants, having resources for different types of entrepreneurs, and developing metrics to measure ecosystem health. The talk emphasizes the need to "defrag" ecosystems by understanding connections, aligning resources to roadmaps, and celebrating successes to inspire others.
This document discusses polarity thinking and managing impossible situations. It introduces polarity mapping as a practical tool for mapping and managing polarities to better solve problems. Polarities refer to interdependent pairs of values, such as centralization and decentralization, that tend to be viewed through an "either-or" lens but are best managed through a "both-and" approach. Leveraging both sides of a polarity can help accelerate change while avoiding unintended consequences. All polarities share predictable dynamics and behind every problem lies one or more underlying polarity.

To survive as a company, the organization needs to become a shapeshifter: sometimes hierarchical, sometimes networked; sometimes efficient, sometimes effective; sometimes great at execution, and other times great at innovation. You can only achieve this by motivating people to change continuously. To achieve this, we take a closer look at gamification and habit-forming. Because games and habits are the keys to intrinsic motivation and change. And you need those in your company to become a great shapeshifter!
This document discusses how to effectively change human behavior. It explains that behavior is influenced by two systems: the rational "Rider" and the emotional "Elephant". The Rider thinks logically about the future, while the Elephant focuses on immediate rewards and feelings. To motivate behavior change, one must appeal to the Elephant by making rewards more visible, tangible, and immediate. The document provides examples of how to do this for behaviors like exercise, dieting, and work projects. It also discusses using social influences, implementation plans, and success stories to guide the Elephant toward better long-term decisions.
ThinkPlace is a strategic design consultancy that specializes in transforming complex public sector systems to be more efficient and user-centered. They use design thinking, systems thinking, and human insight mining. ThinkPlace has offices in Australia, New Zealand, and Washington DC. The presentation discusses ThinkPlace's experience building holistic innovation capabilities for clients, using techniques like polarity mapping and prototyping policy ideas. Design-led innovation can help ensure policies achieve their intended impacts and do not have unintended consequences.

In a VUCA World – one characterized by Volatility, Uncertainty, Complexity, and Ambiguity – the traditional approach of applying well-practised set of processes, methods and tools to a well understood and clearly defined problem simply doesn’t work. Adaptive challenges are the ‘wicked problems’ that organizations face. They are messy, boundaries aren’t clear and they tend to be systemic in nature. They require resources to be mobilized (whether you control the resources or not) in areas where there is limited experience in how to think through to the answer. So how then can organizations disrupt themselves? What's needed and what's required?
Building Capacities For Learning Organizationsheilasingapore
The document discusses building learning organizations. It explains that learning organizations focus on developing new skills and changing attitudes through reflection, systems thinking, and shared vision. Building a learning organization requires focusing on overarching ideas, necessary tools and methods, and providing the infrastructure to apply new approaches. Leaders must clearly articulate the vision, while also providing resources for teams to develop new practices.

Bring on the Rain Putting the Cloud to Work for You: an introduction to cloud...Bobbi Newman
This document provides an introduction to cloud computing and discusses its advantages and disadvantages. The presentation summarizes that cloud computing allows storing and accessing data and programs over the internet instead of a local computer's hard drive. It offers benefits like lower costs, easier sharing, more storage, and improved reliability. However, issues with cloud computing include potential loss of access to data, privacy concerns, and dependence on internet speed. The document also lists examples of popular cloud-based applications for productivity, collaboration, and organization.

La Unión Europea ha acordado un paquete de sanciones contra Rusia por su invasión de Ucrania. Las sanciones incluyen restricciones a las importaciones de productos rusos de alta tecnología y a las exportaciones de bienes de lujo a Rusia. Además, se congelarán los activos de varios oligarcas rusos y se prohibirá el acceso de los bancos rusos a los mercados financieros de la UE.
I was on a panel with Mike Whaling and Jun Loyaza at the Optimization summit. We had a very interesting discussion and a lot of fun with audience questions including a dating app discussion. The Luncheon took a look at the most powerful changes and opportunities driving and shaping the direction and growth of this dynamic realm—in both the near and long-term future. You’ll get a first-hand and far-reaching look at the New Media landscape; hear about the hottest changes happening now and how to capitalize on them; get clued in to important opportunities that are about to emerge; and walk away with insider knowledge that will help you position your company years ahead of the competition.
Academic research involves thoroughly studying a topic to present facts and information in a detailed and accurate manner through systematic investigation and inquiry. It differs from high school research in that college requires more frequent and longer writing assignments, more thorough research using a larger library system with various sources, and less feedback from teachers as students must self-monitor their own progress.
Este documento celebra las fortalezas y cualidades de las mujeres. Resalta que las mujeres cargan con muchas responsabilidades como madres y esposas, pero aun así encuentran espacio para el amor, la alegría y la felicidad. También destaca la inteligencia, compasión y poder suave de las mujeres. Concluye diciendo que la belleza de una mujer crece con los años y proviene de su corazón y alma, no de su apariencia física.

I originally gave this presentation at the Drupal Self-Help Group meetup, in May 2012.
The document outlines interactive marketing goals and planning including attracting visitors and sales leads. It discusses using analytics from Google Analytics and SEO tools to track metrics like traffic sources, content performance, and SEO rankings. It also covers content creation including onsite content created by the company and community, and offsite content like building relationships through forums and social networks.
This document discusses zooming out from an individual focus to a systems-level perspective in psychological and educational work. It advocates taking an ecological approach that considers all levels of a client's environment, including peers, family, school, community and policies. Barriers to this approach include focusing assessments and conversations on individuals rather than systems. The document provides examples of strengths-based, appreciative questions that can help practitioners zoom out to understand how various layers of a client's environment interact. It emphasizes involving all stakeholders in assessment, feedback and intervention to properly address problems at a systems level.
This document provides a summary of a presentation by Drs. Kenny Cheah, Siaw Yan Li, and Donnie Adams from the University of Malaya on strategic thinking and problem solving.

Gigamap example by Manuela Aguirre: https://www.slideshare.net/ManuelaAguirre/policy-support-full-presentation
In this presentation you will learn about design tools and techniques to solve wicked problems, using Systems Thinking.
Systems Thinking looks at the whole of a system rather than focusing on its individual parts, to better understand complex phenomena. Systems Thinking contrasts with analytic thinking: you solve problems by going deeper, by looking at the greater whole of a system and the relations between its elements, rather than solving individual problems in a linear way via simple cause and effect explanations.
You can apply Systems Thinking principles in different situations: to understand how large organisations function and design for the enterprise (e.g. when you are trying to revamp a large intranet), but also to solve social problems and issues (e.g. unemployment with disadvantaged youth or mobility in larger cities). So basically whenever there is complexity and conflict (of interest) in your project, Systems Thinking will be helpful.
After an introduction to Systems Thinking and its core concepts, we will first explain and practice a few techniques that you as a designer can apply to better understand complex systems, for example creating a System Map and drawing Connection Circles. In the second part of the workshop, we will introduce techniques that help you shape solutions, for example using Paradoxical Thinking for ideation and writing ‘What-if’ Scenarios.
Presented at EuroIA 2015 with Koen Peters.
Research (supplemented by informal observation) over the past ten years has shown that students of all ages have particular difficulties finding, interacting with and using information; difficulties that are exacerbated by characteristics of the WWW and by the nature of students’ interaction with it. If we want students to develop as independent learners and problem –solvers, in and out of the classroom, we need to address these difficulties in a systematic way.

This document discusses strengths-based assessment, design, and implementation approaches as alternatives to traditional approaches. It notes that traditional implementation attempts often fail between 80-90% of the time. Strengths-based approaches focus on identifying existing strengths and assets within a system rather than focusing only on needs or deficiencies. The document contrasts traditional deficit-based consulting models with potential strengths-based consulting models that engage stakeholders and leverage existing resources.

Managerial Group Relationship,
A managerial group relationship refers to the dynamics and interactions among individuals who hold managerial positions within an organization. These relationships play a crucial role in shaping the overall functioning and effectiveness of the management team.
Here are some key aspects of managerial group relationships:
Communication: Effective communication is vital for building and maintaining strong relationships within a managerial group. Managers need to communicate openly, honestly, and frequently to ensure that information flows smoothly and that everyone is on the same page.
Trust and Respect: Trust and respect are the foundation of any healthy relationship, including managerial group relationships. Managers should trust and respect each other's expertise, decisions, and contributions. Trust enables collaboration, fosters teamwork, and promotes a positive work environment.
Collaboration and Cooperation: Managers within a group should work together collaboratively, rather than in silos. They should share knowledge, resources, and ideas, and collaborate on projects and problem-solving. Cooperation among managers strengthens the overall effectiveness of the management team and enhances organizational performance.
Support and Encouragement: Managers should support and encourage each other's professional growth and development. They should provide feedback, guidance, and mentoring when needed. A supportive managerial group fosters a culture of continuous learning and helps individual managers reach their full potential.
Conflict Resolution: Conflicts are inevitable in any group, including managerial teams. However, effective managerial group relationships involve the ability to handle conflicts constructively. Managers should be skilled in resolving conflicts through open dialogue, active listening, and finding win-win solutions that address the underlying issues.
Shared Goals and Vision: A strong managerial group relationship is built on shared goals and a common vision for the organization. Managers should align their objectives and strategies, ensuring that they work collectively towards the achievement of organizational objectives.
Role Clarity and Coordination: It is important for managers to have clear roles and responsibilities within the group. Role clarity helps in avoiding overlaps and ensuring smooth coordination. Managers should have a clear understanding of each other's roles and actively coordinate their efforts to maximize efficiency and minimize duplication.
Overall, a positive and effective managerial group relationship promotes a collaborative, supportive, and productive work environment. It enhances decision-making, problem-solving, and organizational performance, ultimately leading to success for the organization as a whole.
Leading ChangeIntroductionThe phrase leading change may gene.docxgauthierleppington
The document discusses the challenges of leading change in higher education. It notes that change efforts often fail due to a lack of agreement on the problem, unclear decision-making structures and timeframes, an absence of evaluative criteria, and failure to communicate changes to the entire campus community. This can lead to a culture of exhaustion where people are unwilling to participate in reform efforts. The author proposes ways to overcome these obstacles, including creating agreement on goals, establishing clear decision-making processes, setting evaluative measures, and communicating reforms broadly.

Design for Social Innovation: Redesigning at the Intersection of Business, Co...Sustainable Brands
A new field of practice is emerging at the intersection of design, management, complex systems theory, facilitation, and social change. This practice, sometimes called Design for Social Innovation, is giving birth to approaches for creating with social complexity from the inside. It offers "managing emergence" as a complement to traditional management. And it treats culture as a working material rather than a mysterious and difficult barrier to change. This workshop will provide a survey of Design for Social Innovation: key approaches and practices, case studies, and opportunities they present to the Sustainable Brands community.
Broadening Assumptions to Find a Better Way - Innovation Tools Current Method...Mike Cardus
Every company, team and person has established patters of What, Where, When, Who and How something gets done. It ranges from simple things like arriving at work and when we take a break to complex things like employee onboarding and hiring practices. Taking time as a team to challenge existing presumptions and work to create small steps, can break inertia (stuckness) in how your project team operates, while creating a shared understanding of why we are here and how we can improve things.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.
