HSD Gathering 2026
9-11 SEPTEMBER 2026
VIC, BARCELONA, SPAIN
Nothing is intractable because…
Human Systems Dynamics (HSD) creates opportunities out of chaos. HSD methods give you power to see patterns in complexity. You will understand your most wicked problems in new and useful ways. Most important, you will take innovative action to move past biggest challenges and toward future success!
What is Human Systems Dynamics?
HSD Vision
People everywhere thrive because we see patterns clearly, seek to understand and act with courage to transform turbulence and uncertainty into possibility for all.
Inquiry-Based Problem-Solving Process
HSD is grounded in inquiry. Answers have short shelf lives in complex systems, and a good question can last a lifetime. Adaptive Action is three key questions to keep you moving forward.
Complexity Science Made Useful
The language of complexity has become commonplace—fractals, attractors, emergence. But complexity in action is rare. The Praxis of HSD changes the rules. It integrates complexity theory and innovative practice for maximum impact.
Paradigm of an Emerging Future
Certainty used to be the foundation of knowledge and action. Those days are gone. Today, uncertainty is the only certainty. HSD’s Pattern Logic helps you make decisions and take action, even when you can’t predict or control anything in your world.
See you at our upcoming events!

Practice of HSD
Break through intractable issues for yourself and your clients. Discover practical strategies to lead in complexity, manage change, build adaptive capacity, foster collaboration, and plan effectively in an unpredictable world.
Simple Tools for Complex Times
In rapid, unpredictable change no one has time for complicated tools or obtuse theories. Complex times require simple strategies. HSD Models & Methods are as simple as they are powerful.
Learning Opportunities
The future is in your hands. Human systems dynamics can help you address your most intractable issues. See your challenges in remarkable new ways; understand what is holding you and your team back; and take real action, in the moment, to break free. Begin your next Adaptive Action today.
