Glenda Eoyang - Pattern Logic in Complex Adaptive Systems
Details
Search for what is true and useful.
That simple rule guides the global Human Systems Dynamics (HSD) Ecosystem of Communities. Since the late 1980s, Glenda Eoyang has explored the conditions that shape how self-organizing systems move—how fast they change, where they go, and what they become. Her CDE Model now informs theory and practice for individuals and institutions across disciplines and industries worldwide.
In this session, you will:
- Discover Pattern Logic—a practical lens for seeing what matters in complex systems
- Apply it directly to your own Wicked Issue
- Explore the generative, self-organizing space of the Complexity Lounge
You’ll leave with clearer insight and practical tools to navigate uncertainty and influence meaningful change.

Bio
Glenda Eoyang works with public and private organizations to help them thrive in the face of overwhelming complexity and uncertainty. She is a pioneer in the applications of complexity science to human systems, and she founded the field of human systems dynamics (HSD) in 2001. Around the world, HSD is applied to wicked problems ranging from early childhood education to violent extremism, public health, and corporate futures and strategy. Her foundational book, Adaptive Action: Leveraging Uncertainty in Your Organization, is a guide for anyone who is facing Wicked Issues at any scale of human interaction. Her theory and practice provide a roadmap for those who live and work at the intersection of order and chaos.
