Thriving in Turbulence: The Power of Adaptive Action for Navigating Change
In a world where change is constant, Glenda Eoyang, PhD, emphasizes the importance of Adaptive Action as a framework for thriving amidst turbulence. Drawing insights from Complex Adaptive Systems, Eoyang discusses how individuals and organizations can leverage uncertainty and self-organizing patterns to navigate challenges effectively. By focusing on collaboration, personal stress management, and coordinated care, this approach empowers teams to respond dynamically to changing circumstances. Discover valuable resources and training opportunities to enhance your adaptive capacity and tackle complex issues head-on.

Turbulence in CCO Oregon • Dental • Quality • Coordinated Care • Mental Health • Expense • Experience • Primary Care • Past • Present • Future
How Does Complexity Emerge?Complex Adaptive System (CAS) A collection of individual agents who have the freedom to act in unpredictable ways, and whose actions are interconnected such that they produce system-wide patterns. Agents interact
Complex Adaptive System (CAS)Self-Organizing System Those system-wide patterns, in turn, influence the behaviors of the agents System-wide patterns emerge Agents interact
