Complexity Leadership Model: How to Leverage Complexity to Solve Your Organization’s Most Intractable Challenges


Listen Later

The leading organizational change methods in use today like ADKAR, Kotter 8-Steps, and the Lewin Change Model were developed 20, 25, and 70 years ago respectively. While such methods might have worked well in a world of stability, pliant competition, and moderate growth, today such methods represent a liability. Such methods were not developed to handle the volatile, uncertain, complex, ambiguous conditions that we operate in today. Hence, to be successful in solving your organization’s most intractable challenges a new change method is needed; a method that is attuned to the times in which we live; a method that leverages complexity and embraces ambiguity; a method that was designed to solve the complex adaptive challenges of today. Let’s discuss.

In this episode, you’ll learn:  What is the Complexity Leadership (Theory of Change) Model  Why a new change model is needed address VUCA-like conditions  How we define complex adaptive challenges and why they matter  The (3) key frameworks that define the Complexity Leadership Model  How to shift from an OD/Change Leader to a Complexity Leader
