Diffusion of Innovations
Explains how new ideas or technologies move from invention to adoption through social systems, showing why innovators lead, laggards follow, and networks determine momentum.
When Fear of AI Becomes the Real Risk
Fear of generative AI is often framed as caution. In reality, hesitation entrenches dysfunction — leaving teams buried in duplication and burnout.
High Reliability Organisation (HRO) theory: Mindfulness in the Face of Risk
HRO theory explains how organisations in high-risk domains sustain safety by cultivating continuous mindfulness, error sensitivity, and resilience against drift.
When Rulebooks Break, Systems Drift Into Dysfunction
Rules often survive long after reality has changed. When legitimacy outpaces outcomes, systems drift into dysfunction — whether in housing, work, or strategy.
Probabilistic Models — Mapping Uncertainty into Insight
Probabilistic Models apply probability theory to quantify uncertainty, turning incomplete data into forecasts that guide risk management, decision-making, and future planning.
Climate-Focused Adaptations: Designing for Resilient Futures
Climate-focused adaptations are frameworks for reshaping systems to withstand climate risks — embedding resilience into infrastructure, policy, and everyday practice.
Capacity & Structure: The Architecture of Work
Capacity & Structure defines the scaffolding of people, processes & resources that set a system’s limits and shape its ability to grow, adapt, and deliver outcomes.
Scenario Planning: Anticipating Futures Through Narrative
Scenario Planning uses structured narratives to explore multiple plausible futures, helping organisations test strategies and stay resilient under uncertainty.
Continuous Improvement: The Discipline of Incremental Change
Continuous Improvement, using Kaizen and the PDCA cycle, builds progress through small, disciplined steps — embedding change as a habit rather than a disruption.
Systems Thinking: Mapping Patterns in Complexity
Systems Thinking frames complexity through interconnections and feedback loops, helping anticipate unintended outcomes and design resilient, system-level strategies.
