This year I am telling myself that I am going to do a weekly blog on systems, complexity & how things can be done differently. Foolish NY resolution? Perhaps, but check out the first post and follow along below. Plz share - it will help keep me honest! https://t.co/yFyMdbkGMD

Breaking my Twitter silence to say working and thinking in systems *is not* a paradigm shift. The paradigm shift would be a world which meaningfully accommodates different worldviews and creates space to explore connections across and between them.
