This blog launches “Systemic” – a game that simulates how policy-making systems function and possible shifts that can be made to improve policy outcomes. Systemic has been inspired by the world of board games, and was co-created by Policy Lab and Matteo Menapace, the co-author of ‘Daybreak’. It forms part of our learning from a project aiming to shift complex systems around multiple disadvantage with the Changing Futures Programme. Serious games are one of Policy Lab’s new experimental methods, set out in the launch of our experimental innovation strategy last year.

Dear LinkedIn community,

I wonder if I can pick your brains on scholars of 🌐 Complexity Leadership Theory 🌐 (or close to) that you may know who are relevant and I should add to my emerging list, which at the minute is rather small in length (not in collective knowledge 🎓 ) and includes the following:

Mary Uhl-Bien
Dave Snowden
Michael Arena
Gervase R. Bushe
Keith Grint
Ralph Stacey
Richard Boyatzis
Deborah Ancona
Chris Mowles
Cynthia McPherson Frantz

Any thoughts are super welcome! 💌

In September 2023, Complexability, in collaboration with The Cynefin Co and The Griffith Centre for Systems Innovation, and 100 others engaged in a series of events over a week to explore contemporary social and organisational challenges and issues through the lens of complexity.

Judith Rosen agreed to give an online presentation for the Systems Thinking Ontario meeting in October 2023, after we converted her in-person meeting at OCADU in August into a discussion circle.  Channelling the anticipatory systems approach of her father, mathematical biologist Robert Rosen, Judith has been extended those ideas in her own continuing observation of living systems.

For those who ascribe “complex adaptive systems” to mathematicians and physicists at the *Santa Fe Institute* (founded in 1984) 2, it’s worth noting the 1968 article published by Walter F. Buckley.
