Dear friends,

The last month or so has been rich in reflections, connections, learning, action and change. So I’m pretty energized and happy to be able to share some of the highlights, and resources that might be interesting and useful for you.

Embracing complexity: Sense-making, reflecting and connecting

It includes various resources on complexity, systems thinking, relationships, learning, power, sensemaking, causality and governance, as well as some more personal stuff. Hopefully it’s also an engaging read.

In addition to this piece, I’ve also put out a small handful of other pieces including a piece on knowledge gardening in complexity, and – one of my least popular pieces yet – on the parallels between a dated UK game show (Family Fortunes) and generative (regurgitative?) AI.

Had I consulted computer, it would perhaps have told me not to bother writing that piece!

Wishing you all well, perhaps at a time of relative rest and relaxation for some of you in Europe and (less so, given the version of capitalism over the pond) North America.

warm wishes from a somewhat blustery seaside but with the promise of sunny days ahead,

alan

PS: Apologies if in my enthusiasm, you’ve received this more than once.
