Information Asymmetry: When knowledge becomes leverage
Akerlof’s theory shows how unequal access to information distorts markets, erodes trust, and can cause systemic failure — highlighting the value of transparency and aligned incentives.
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.
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.
The Meeting Maze: Time, Belonging, Agency
Workplace rules that look tidy on paper often disable in practice. The Meeting Maze shows how time traps, conditional belonging, and misallocated power erode clarity — and how ADHD perspectives can expose the path to redesign.

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.
