Creative competencies for complex challenges (Palus & Horth 2002: Center for Creative Leadership)
53
Complexity & Chaos
Paying Attention
Personalizing
Imaging Serious Play
Co-Inquiry
Shared Understanding & Sensible Action
Crafting
Based on analysing and mentoring many senior leaders, Palus & Horth recognise a new pattern of competencies in leaders who cope well with overwhelming complexity. CCL has developed practical tools to scaffold these competencies
…how do we nurture these in ourselves (and the next generation)?

NASA testbed: Compendium activity plans for surface exploration, constructed by scientists on ‘Earth’, interpreted by software agents on ‘Mars’
The Compendium nodes and relationships in this plan were interpreted by Brahms software agents for monitoring and coordinating astronaut and robot activity during surface explorations.

NASA testbed: Compendium science data map, generated by software agents, for interpretation by Mars+Earth scientists
The Compendium maps were autonomously created and populated with science data by Brahms software agents that use models of the mission plan, work process, data flow and science data relationships to create the maps.

Dangers of entrained thinking from experts who fail to recognise a novel phenomenon
Complex systems only seem to make sense retrospectively: narrative is an appropriately complex form of knowledge sharing and reflection for such domains Patterns are emergent
Much of the relevant knowledge is tacit, shared through discourse, not formal codifications
Many small signals can build over time into a significant force/change

Sensemaking Phenomenon in Complex Domains
Sensemaking Infrastructure Opportunity
Dangers of entrained thinking from experts who fail to recognise a novel phenomenon
• Pay particular attention to exceptions • Open up to diverse perspectives
Complex systems only seem to make sense retrospectively: narrative is an appropriately complex form of knowledge sharing and reflection for such domains
• Stories and coherent pathways are important
• Reflection and overlaying of interpretation(s) is critical
Patterns are emergent • In addition to top-down, anticipated patterns, generate views bottom-up from the data to expose unexpected phenomena
Much of the relevant knowledge is tacit, shared through discourse, not formal codifications
• Scaffold the formation of significant inter-personal, learning relationships
Many small signals can build over time into a significant force/change
• Enable individuals to highlight important events and connections which are then aggregated
• Suggest connections based on different kinds of significant relationship
