Building adaptive capacity in our young people - A Conversation with Glenda Eoyang

Simply trying to avoid or remove uncertainty and complexity from
the lives of our young people (and our own) just isn't a viable
strategy anymore! So what do we do instead? How might we
intentionally build our adaptive capacity to thrive in the face
of these dynamics?


Dr. Glenda Eoyang works with public and private organizations to
help them thrive in the face of overwhelming complexity and
uncertainty. She is a pioneer in the field of human systems
dynamics (HSD), which she founded. Through Human Systems Dynamic
Institute, Glenda uses her Models and Methods to help others see
patterns in the chaos that surrounds them, understand the
patterns in simple and powerful ways, and take practical steps to
shift chaos into order. Her clients include Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention, Oxfam International, Canada School of
Public Service, Cargill, Fraser Health Authority (BC), and
Roche/Genentech.


Glenda’s latest book, with co-author Royce Holladay,
is Adaptive Action: Leveraging Uncertainty in Your
Organization (Stanford University Press, April 2013).
