Complex challenges require minimalist interventions at key leverage points.
In a world of compounding complexity, the most powerful solutions often lie in the skillful application of simplicity. I partner with organizations to identify the essential leverage points where minimal intervention creates maximal change. Teams achieve this by co-designing new ways of working, and new responses to the constant change and disruption that defines our era.
The most effective teams are collaborative, agile, and have an unbreakable focus on outcomes.
Change Management + Social Innovation
Complex social challenges require teams that meet complexity with simplicity—by being continuously in tune with a changing landscape—and one another—they can apply the least effort for maximal impact.
My work on complexity helps teams:
- Deepen their understanding of messy, stuck challenges to get to their essence
- Unearth new capabilities by creating fail-safe environments
- Build collective buy-in between stakeholders with conflicting interests
- Collaboratively design new interventions, approaches, products and services
- Prototype minimal interventions with maximum learning potential
- Build collective capacity for ongoing adaptation and evolution
This approach draws from social labs methodology, design thinking, and the neuroscience of change management.
This work is about navigating change and creating the outcomes we want in the midst of complexity by tapping into the collective intelligence and natural incentives, rather than command and control and central planning.
