When Words Run Faster Than Thought
When words run faster than thought, clarity drowns in the noise. This piece unpacks why ADHD turns communication into performance—and how structure can turn self-doubt into design.
Emotional Regulation in ADHD: Feeling ≠ Failing
Emotional regulation in ADHD is the challenge of managing emotional intensity and recovery time. It reframes “overreaction” as a neurological lag, highlighting skill-building as a path to resilience and self-trust.
Feedback Loops: System Self-Regulation in Motion
Feedback loops are the dynamic engines of systems thinking — revealing how actions create reactions that reinforce or balance outcomes over time, shaping system behaviour and stability.
Systems Archetypes: The patterns behind system behaviour
Senge’s Systems Archetypes reveal recurring feedback structures that drive predictable behaviours in complex systems — helping leaders see root causes, anticipate outcomes, and design smarter interventions.
The Politics of Productivity: Balancing Motion and Momentum
Every false step in the name of progress steals real time.
We live in a rigged productivity economy—targets up, morale down—where motion is mistaken for momentum. You’re not calling for revolution; you’re learning how to win back agency inside the machine.
Normalization of Deviance: When risk becomes routine
When small rule-bending becomes routine, organizations gradually accept higher risks as normal, eroding safeguards until failure becomes inevitable.
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.
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.
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.
