I wanted to let you know that we’re offering our introductory course in May for folks wanting to advance collaborative systems change work.
If you know of anyone who might be interested, we’re happy to answer any questions and provide discounts for your close allies or partners. Melissa, who’s copied here, can help with that.
In the meantime, I’m happy to share some new or updated free resources from CoCreative:

Western Complex Systems Conference 2022 (March 30, 9AM-5PM EST)
Western Complex Systems Conference 2022 explores the application of complexity theory and systems thinking across disciplines. Over vast diversity in academic fields, methodologies, and domain expertise, our common thread is curiosity about the ways that nonlinear dynamics and systemic thinking invite us to understand and respond to our world.
- Wednesday, March 30, 2022, 9:00 AM – 5:00 PM EST
- Registeration Required (Conference live via Zoom)
- Conference Schedule: single-track format — drop-in/out for sessions of interest throughout the day
- Hosted by the Complex Adaptive Systems (CAS) Lab and Western Research at Western University, London, Canada.

Coexistence in diverse communities with higher-order interactions
Theo Gibbs, Simon A. Levin, Jonathan M. Levine
A central assumption in most ecological models is that the interactions in a community operate only between pairs of species. However, the interaction between two species may be fundamentally changed by the presence of others. Although interactions among three or more species, called higher-order interactions, have the potential to modify our theoretical understanding of coexistence, ecologists lack clear expectations for how these interactions shape community structure. Here, we analytically predict and numerically confirm how the variability and strength of higher-order interactions affect species coexistence. We found that, as higher-order interaction strengths become more variable across species, fewer species coexist, echoing the behavior of pairwise models. If inter-specific higher-order interactions become too harmful relative to self-regulation, coexistence was destabilized, but coexistence was also lost when these interactions were too weak and mutualistic effects became prevalent. Last, we showed that more species rich communities…

EFFECTIVENESS OF SYSTEMIC COACHING AND CONSULTING IN THE CONTEXT OF WORK AND ORGANIZATIONS | Thomas Bachmann | Research Project
Effectiveness of systemic coaching and consulting in the context of work and organizationsThomas BachmannJohannes LoermannGoal: In the course of the legal recognition of systemic therapy in Germany in 2019, the question of the effectiveness of systemic interventions in the context of work and organizations also arises. Systemic coaching and consulting already looks back on a long tradition and an extensive body of theory and methods. Systemic organizational consulting, constellation work, systemic coaching, and team development, among others, are established formats. Nevertheless, the state of research on their effectiveness is insufficiently ¬elaborated.The Systemic Society (“Systemische Gesellschaft”- SG) and in cooperation with German Society for Systemic Therapy, Counseling and Family Therapy ¬(“Deutsche Gesellschaft für Systemische Therapie, Beratung und Familientherapie”- DGSF) commissioned artop – Institute at the Humboldt University of Berlin – to conduct a pilot study on the effectiveness of systemic formats in work and organizational contexts. In this study, the current state of effectiveness research is to be documented and reviewed, and perspectives and possibilities for further research projects are to be identified.

March 14 (the second Monday of the month, besides being Commonwealth Day in Canada that isn’t a statutory holiday!) is the 98th meeting for Systems Thinking Ontario. The registration is at https://entropy-systems-thinking.eventbrite.ca .
Entropy: How does the Second Law of Thermodynamics change our thinking?
Entropy, the second law of thermodynamics, is foundational to the systems sciences. Since the field aims for isomorphies (i.e. patterns that apply across many disciiplines), a variety of interpretations of entropy can create a lot of confusion!
David L. Hawk, in his 2019 book, remarks:
“Entropy, something I had no idea about when first told, then began to understand it on second encounter, then knew I would never understand it when I met it the third time. Then, not being able to ever get over it on fourth encounter.” [….]
“For Einstein, then Steven Hawking, the 2nd Law of Thermodynamics was sacrosanct. [,,,,] Many leading scientists have gone deeper in arguing why they agree with Einstein, then Hawking, and feel so strongly about entropy is a supreme law of nature and must be factored into what humans do.”
With this caution, David Hawk has agreed to guide us towards some understanding of entropy, and how it shapes (or misshapes!) the human condition.
The pre-reading list, below, has been annotated, to encourage participants to gain some familiarity in advance of the interactive discussion.
