Complexity Leadership Theory – shifting Leadership from the Industrial Age to the Knowledge Era
Leadership models of the last century have been products of top-down, bureaucratic paradigms. These models are eminently effective for an economy premised on physical production but are not well-suited for a more knowledge oriented economy. Complexity science suggests a different … Continue reading

Complexity Leadership Theory – An interactive perspective on Leading in Complex Adaptive Systems
Traditional, hierarchical views of leadership are less and less useful given the complexities of our modern world. Leadership theory must transition to new perspectives that account for the complex adaptive needs of organizations. In this paper, we propose that leadership … Continue reading

Complex Systems Regime Shift – Readings I
For a Complex Systems point of view. Towards sustainability, it is important to understand the dynamics of socio-ecological systems, as complex adaptive systems. An essential aspect of such complex systems is nonlinearity, leading to historical dependency and multiple possible outcomes … Continue reading

Complex Dynamical Systems Theory
Complexity is a systemic property. Whether in the physical or social realms, if individuals are independent or even weakly interdependent no complex physical or social structure will emerge; connectivity and interaction are necessary conditions for the emergence of complexity. The … Continue reading

Resilience and the Behavior of Large-Scale Systems
Scientists and researchers concerned with the behavior of large ecosystems have focused in recent years on the concept of “resilience.” Traditional perspectives held that ecological systems exist close to a steady state and resilience is the ability of the system … Continue reading
Critical Transitions in Nature and Society
How do we explain the remarkably abrupt changes that sometimes occur in nature and society–and can we predict why and when they happen? This book offers a comprehensive introduction to critical transitions in complex systems–the radical changes that happen at … Continue reading
Resilience and Sustainable Development – Theory of Resilience, Systems Thinking and Adaptive Governance
Resilience thinking is inevitably systems thinking at least as much as sustainable development is. In fact, “when considering systems of humans and nature (social-ecological systems) it is important to consider the system as a whole. The human domain and the … Continue reading

Ecosystems and the Biosphere as Complex Adaptive Systems
Ecosystems are prototypical examples of complex adaptive systems, in which patterns at higher levels emerge from localized interactions and selection processes acting at lower levels. An essential aspect of such systems is nonlinearity, leading to historical dependency and multiple possible … Continue reading

Resilience Management in Social-ecological Systems: A working hypothesis for a Participatory Approach
Approaches to natural resource management are often based on a presumed ability to predict probabilistic responses to management and external drivers such as climate. They also tend to assume that the manager is outside the system being managed. However, where … Continue reading
Social Learning and Sustainability – Exploring Critical Issues in Relation to Environmental Change and Governance
This report addresses a critical part of the very front of social-ecological systems research. Learning can be seen as a process of change in the way we look upon the world — our thoughts, feelings and actions — which is … Continue reading
