A few days ago I facilitated a workshop about Social Software - especially the use of Weblogs, Technorati, Bloglines and Flickr. It was a part of a Master Programme at CBS.
One of the participants reminded me of a very interesting theory on Complex Responsive Processes that I read last year.
The reason why I think it’s interesting in a design, innovation and leadership perspective is because of trying to find the answers on the following questions:
- Who am I and how have I come to be who I am?
- Who are we and how have we come to be who we are?
- How are we all changing, evolving and learning?
I have been engaged in these questions myself and been working with them through a process of developing an understanding of my embodied values and in what way I am able to live these values in my practice. My identity.
Stacey has
placed emphasis on the importance of relating in his second question “How have
we become to be who we are?” He addresses this question through his theory of Complex Responsive Processes
I think the third question is answered by the way we communicate. Does that make sense? Is it btw. applicable to the thoughts of design thinking? What do you think?
