- Title
Engaging Emergence: Turning Upheaval into Opportunity.
- Authors
HOLMAN, PEGGY
- Abstract
Many of our systems - from the economic sphere to the political realm - seem to be in decline. Yet if we look closely, we can see signs of new beginnings all around us. In this article, Peggy Holman describes what she has learned from the science of emergence - nature's way of changing in which increasingly complex order arises from disorder. We don't control emergence, nor can we fully predict how it arises. Yet we can engage it, confident that unexpected and valuable breakthroughs can occur. Peggy offers questions, principles, and practices for equipping ourselves to work through this time of upheaval and change.
