What are you learning now? Part 3: agility to spirituality

OSR graduates responded to this question in our latest survey. Here is the third installment of the results.

“Agility and nimbleness — personal in my professional practice, academic in the way I design graduate course curriculum about designing and leading systemic organizational change, and professional in co-creating and co-designing with colleagues innovative approaches to sustained/embedded change within organizations, all sectors. We have to stay on our learning edges creating conditions for seeing possibility in these uncertain times. This is a time for agile creativity.”

Innovation — “Entrenched organizational leadership and personnel destroy innovation and innovative thinking. Without major changes in leadership and mandated structural change, designing systemic organizational change goes nowhere.”

Intuition — “How to surface my intuition and understand it well enough to communicate as something more than ‘Well, I just have a feeling that…’"

“Nuance and the ever constant reinforcement to stay open to the environment I am working on. OSR learnings are guidelines, not rules.”

Relationships — “I continue to learn about the intricacies of relationships and the dance we do, individually and in groups, and how that influences our internal and external environment.”

“Simplicity and singularity”

“Social construction: social reality formed through discourse”

Spirituality — “My work has focused on the spiritual facet of sustainability and living systems. I'm in an ongoing learning experience.”

Part 1: design, leadership, change
Part 2: complexity, connection, unique situations
Part 4: applying the learning
