Engaging Emergence

Peggy Holman, co-author of The Change Handbook, discusses “Engaging Emergence”. (Be aware there is a 30-sec commercial at the beginning of this video, and then again 1/3 and again 2/3 of the way through this, if you watch it at Veoh.)

A few interesting ideas/phrases used:

  • “Change with no one in charge.”
  • “Whole Systems change.”
  • “Be compassionate about disruption.”

Peggy Holman also spoke with this host about Open Space Technology, a subject I briefly addressed long ago and, rather unfortunately, never revisited until now. Although not quite as interesting as the video above, nonetheless there are many great ideas which should relate to 5GW; in fact, the very framework of the concept behind OST may prove quite valuable.




For a much simplified and shorter explanation of OST, you can watch this video on YouTube.

I’ll be back with more ideas about these in a newer post.

UPDATE: Peggy Holman’s book proposal for Engaging Emergence at her blog: http://patternsofchange.wordpress.com/2009/07/22/book-proposal/

This is a good find.

Is there another place for the longer videos besides Veoh? Veoh has copyright restrictions for where I currently reside so while I would like to watch the videos, I am, unfortunately, not able to.

Unfortunately, I haven't been able to find these two particular videos anywhere else!
