  • With complexity science, we have a human-oriented management practice emerging from science, a novelty.

  • knowledge-based economy
  • when people are treated as replaceable parts, as objects to control, are taught to be compliant, are used as fuel for the existing system�inevitably the organization will be fraught with frustration, anger, and isolation, which ultimately is detrimental to the business.
  • managers focus exclusively on producing goods and services and forget that the organization is a community of human beings
  • if people are treated as machines, not as people, they are unlikely to give loyalty and trust and they will not give of their best.
  • "When an organization loses its shared vision and principles, its sense of community, it is already in a process of decay and dissolution even though it may linger with the outward appearance of success for some time
  • The companies we worked with, that engaged their organizations as complex adaptive systems, whether consciously or intuitively, were al
  • very successful in traditional bottom line terms, not despite being human-oriented, but rather
  • Management guided by the principles of complexity science

  • constitutes a style that is very human oriented in that it recognizes that relationships are the bottom line of business, and that creativity, culture, and productivity emerge from these interactions
  • And when those interactions are more connected and caring than not,
  • a sense of community emerges
  • increasing an organization�s potential adaptability.
  • A human-centered approach to management is not new
  • What is new is that the science of complexity gives a scientific foundation for a human-oriented management approach;
  • that is, it gives an explanation of why a human oriented management practice is successful, and a rationale for why to take this approach.
  • The complexity-guided style of management is hard to do,
  • especially for managers who seek safety in a command-and-control practice
  • It is hard even for those who embrace its principles
  • because the everyday urgency of business can make time spent interacting and nurturing relationships seem like a waste of time,
  • it requires strong interpersonal skills, and constant vigilance of one�s own behavior and the behavior of others
  • Emerging Patterns in Management Behavior
  • complex patterns are typically generated from a few simple rules of behavior for the individual agents in the system
  • There was for a long time the belief in science that complex order in the world was generated by complex processes.
  • Contrary to this belief, however, complexity scientists have discovered that
  • We saw common behaviors for sustaining constructive relationships within the organization
  • which generated
  • a different way of working and being
  • We saw particular ways of thinking and behaving
  • that cultivated conditions for a more adaptable system, from which a collective sense of connection and care emerged.
  • We call these
  • different ways of being in the workplace
  • paradoxical leadership
  • a way of leading change
  • emergent teams
  • relational practice
  • a way of working together that keeps organizations on the edge; and
  • a way of developing trust and loyalty through rich connections.
  • Paradoxical leadership
  • From a complexity perspective, paradoxes are not problematic
  • Instead paradoxes are indicative of being on the edge; paradoxes create a tension from which creative solutions emerge
  • All the leaders had come from a command and control tradition
  • They had come to recognize that they had limited control; that they depended and needed others to achieve their aims; and that they didn�t, nor should or could, have all the answers
  • This perspective expanded their style of leadership, rather than replaced it.
  • They didn�t manage people
  • They acted more as cultivators than managers.
  • Instead leaders cultivated conditions to increase positive connections in their organizations, and in their economic web, from which nonlinear results could emerge.
  • four common behaviors
  • that guided their leadership style and how they related others:
  • Allow
  • Accessible
  • Attuned
  • allowed things to unfold, allowed mistakes, and open experimentation
  • They gave a strong direction in terms of purpose and values, and then allowed people to find their own solutions according to these guidelines.
  • physically accessible to the people in the organization, to customers, to partners
  • Being accessible helped these leaders to have a finger on the pulse of the organization
  • Leaders were simultaneously aware of the organization as a whole and as a living organism--at the macro level, but also attuned to the interactive level; that is, the micro level of connections and disconnections within the organization.
  • Emergent Teams
  • emergent teams are self-organizing, self-selected, and self-governing
  • Rather than teams being imposed on workers
  • Emergent teams are a democratic approach to problem solving and opportunity seeking

      Pensamiento convergente vs divergente. El primero, se mide por los tests de 'coeficiente intelectual' (resolución de problemas racionales, bien definidos y con una solución correcta). Al parecer, la creatividad pudiera requerir un cierto coeficiente intelectual (120), pero por encima del mismo, no necesariamente se es mas creativo. El pensamiento divergente conduce a soluciones resultado de 'acuerdos' (implica fluidez o capacidad para generar gran cantidad de ideas; flexibilidad o capacidad para conmutar de una perspectiva a otra; y originalidad a la hora de proponer asociaciones de ideas). Concluye que, en cualquier caso, el pensamiento divergente requiere, para que sea creativo, del pensamiento convergente, también.
  • the cutoff point is around 120
  • children with very high IQs do well in life, but after a certain point IQ does not seem to be correlated any longer with superior performance in real life.
  • n IQ beyond 120 does not necessarily imply higher creativity
  • to use well two opposite ways of thinking: the convergent and the divergent.
  • Convergent thinking is measured by IQ tests
  • Divergent thinking leads to no agreed-upon solution
  • People often claimed to have had only two or three good ideas in their entire career, but each idea was so generative that it kept them busy for a lifetime of testing, filling out, elaborating, and applying.
  • Divergent thinking
  • involves convergent thinking
  • 3. Creative people combine playfulness and discipline, or responsibility and irresponsibility.

  • in current psychological research, extroversion and introversion are considered the most stable personality traits that differentiate people from each other and that can be reliably measured
  • Creative individuals, on the other hand, seem to exhibit both traits simultaneously
  • At the same time, they know that in comparison with others, they have accomplished a great deal. And this knowledge provides a sense of security, even pride.
  • in Newton's words, "on the shoulders of giants."
  • 7. Creative people, to an extent, escape rigid gender role stereotyping.
  • androgyny is sometimes understood in purely sexual terms, and therefore it gets confused with homosexuality
  • But psychological androgyny is a much wider concept referring to a person's ability to be at the same time aggressive and nurturant, sensitive and rigid, dominant and submissive, regardless of gender.
  • 8. Creative people are both rebellious and conservative.
  • It is impossible to be creative without having first internalized an area of culture
  • 9. Most creative people are very passionate about their work, yet they can be extremely objective about it as well.
  • 10. Creative people's openness and sensitivity often exposes them to suffering and pain, yet also to a great deal of enjoyment
  • A negative impulse is always frustrating
  • Without the passion, we soon lose interest in a difficult task

  • 10 sentences, for social learning
  • The increasing complexity of our work is a result of our global interconnectedness. Today, simple work is being automated (e.g. bank tellers). Complicated work (e.g. accounting) is getting outsourced. Complex and creative work is what gives companies unique business advantages. Complex and creative work is difficult to replicate, constantly changes and requires greater tacit knowledge. Tacit knowledge is best developed through conversations and social relationships. Training courses are artifacts of a time when information was scarce and connections were few; that time has passed. Social learning networks enable better and faster knowledge feedback loops. Hierarchies constrain social interactions so traditional management models must change. Learning amongst ourselves is the real work in social businesses and management’s role is to support social learning.

      Desde nuestro punto de vista... para asegurarnos de que nuestra ORG desarrolla una cultura de aprendizaje continuo, es crítico ayudar a desarrollar habilidades de 'Aprendizaje autogestionado' (perfil eAprendiz), ayudar a la fuerza de trabajo para que mejore su meta-aprendizaje (aprender a aprender, y en particular en la RED ).

      Lecciones aprendidas del caso de las'sub-prime' y las consecuencias acaecidas: 1.- En entornos complejos, el Aprendizaje autodirigido, autogestionado, NO es opcional, es absolútamente esencial. 2.- En un mundo en cambio contínuo (en el que lo que es cierto hoy puede que mañana no lo sea)... en entornoss dinámicos, el Aprendizaje Contínuo, permanente, es la mejor herramienta disponible 3.- La Reflexión y el Pensamiento Crítico ('out-of-the-box') son esenciales para ayudar a 'focalizar' dicho Aprendizaje Contínuo.

    Artículo que se alinea perfectamente con uestra propuesta de eAprendiz, como estrategia de adecuación personal a un nuevo entorno en red, expandido y complejo. En nuestro caso, además de los dos pasos finales que propone (1.- cambiar nuestra mentalidad a la hora de contemplar el A como un proceso autogestionado y permanente; y 2.- cambiar el modo en que trabajamos (smart work), proporcionando un espacio o ecología de aprendizaje (PLN, PLWE, ID, curacion contenidos, PKM,PLM,PPM, eCompetencias, ePortfolio, mi base de K personal). A estos dos pasos, y como paso previo cualitativo, es el considerar el Aprendizaje como estrategia de adaptabilidad permanente a un entorno cambiante.

  • For the last century and a bit more, we've made progress by applying engineering techniques, like quantitative analysis, to organizational processes. And we've thought of our organizations as machines.
  • The thing about machines is that they're not natural. You design them. The parts of a machine don't act independently. They follow the plan. And you judge success by how well the results conform to the plan
