"It is a combination of seeing the specifics as well as the larger picture, and connecting the dots to see the overarching patterns."

"Emergent learning happens from a place of reflection and sensemaking."

"Intoday’s technology-facilitated and boundaryless world, emergent learning takes place at the intersection of ongoing human experience and tacit knowledge, technology, collaboration, complex and novel challenges, and conditions of uncertainty and ambiguity."

"I believe holding space for emergent learning is one of the pre-conditions for creating a thrivable and anti-fragile organization, one which flourishes in the face of change and disruption by leaning into the emerging future."

"By embracing the power of networks and social platforms along with the affordances of mobile and cloud, distributed and boundaryless organizations can become platforms for emergent learning."

"Emergent learning is always contextual, collaborative, and goes beyond the norms of intended learning."

"Enabling emergent learning requires organizations to shift from a mechanistic view to a living-systems view of organization design."

"Organizations that allow information to flow freely irrespective of positions and power, naturally create the conditions for sensemaking."

"In a VUCA world, sensemaking is what keeps an organization alive and thriving. When everyone in the organization has access to freely flowing information, they can interpret, respond, and build shared awareness of the context and the ecosystem."

"Generative Conversation:"

"Organizations need to build the capacity to have such conversations where individuals and teams “hold space for something new to be born.”"

"Collaborating across Diversity:"

"It is about holding space for and welcoming paradoxes, embracing cognitive dissonance, discarding the notion of “one right solution,” and exploring the varied dimensions of any challenge or situation."

"Collaboration is about coming together, holding space for all the diverse perspectives, and then moving toward the best that emerges in the most inclusive, focused, and alive way possible."

"Comfort with Uncertainty and Ambiguity:"

"The ability to thrive in ambiguity also comes with an element of play."

"if we can learn to let go off our fears — even for a short while — and listen deeply to the context and each other (generative conversations), stay with the ambiguity and sense into it, gradually the next step will emerge from collective sensemaking, which will always be much more accurate than any pre-planned action could have been."

"Systems Thinking"

"Systems Thinking is a must have skill in today’s complex, changing, non-linear world where everything is interconnected as well as interdependent. Internalizing and assimilating these two aspects are necessary to build our capacity."

"Therefore, systems thinking requires us to shift from a reductionist worldview focused on dissecting and analyzing to a holistic one where we step back to see the web of connecting patterns."

"Reflective Practices:"

"This would include not only looking back at past actions and what worked or didn’t but also taking a conscious look at emotions, quality of experiences, the relationships, and the overall energy flow."

"By focusing on what needs to be done, we ignore how it gets done. However, it is the “how” which creates the movement of energy, the joy of moving toward a common purpose, the flow that comes when a team operates seamlessly."

"They build the capacity to hold space for what is wanting to be manifested through them — a truly co-creative experience."
