5. In a complex system we:
1. start journeys with a general sense of direction but
without precise targets.
2. have to be comfortable with what is inherent and
unavoidable, uncertainty.
3. need real time feedback, with the flexibility to respond
and change quickly.
4. can’t avoid some understanding of theory, which has to
act as an enabling constraint on action.
5. are ethically responsible for the unintended consequence
of any intervention__

7. “I do not believe that change needs a robust and
compelling vision because I do not think that
most change efforts have an idea of the
endpoint or view until they get there.
Also, when you have that clarity of vision it is no
longer a change effort, it is a project to
accomplish someone’s work.
You are better off calling change with a strong
vision Project Management, than a change
process.”

10. Task
1.Your team has been asked to create a complete
“network” using ALL of the PVC tubes and
connectors. Just like any good process – a strong
network will have limited gaps.
2.For this activity, no open tubes or connector holes
can be left – the structure will be fully enclosed
upon itself. This means that each tube will be
inserted into two connectors, that each connector
will have a tube in each opening, and that the whole
structure will be interconnected.
3.Your network design is a “stand alone” structure, so
for this activity, you are asked to focus on the task
in front of you – other groups are working on the
same process with the same pieces.
