Social: Why Our Brains Are Wired to Connect [Matthew D. Lieberman] on Amazon.com. *FREE* shipping on qualifying offers. We are profoundly social creatures – more than we know. In Social, renowned psychologist Matthew Lieberman explores groundbreaking research in social neuroscience revealing that our need to connect with other people is even more fundamental
Liz Rykert's insight:
Culture in a group or organization comes as a result of the patterns of relating over time. Learning more about why and how we connect is key.

Here is another Manifesto - this time from Kumu.io a newish service that helps people visualize networks. These Manifestos are a good place to look at simple rules guiding self-organization.

VisualComplexity.com is a unified resource space for anyone interested in the visualization of complex networks. The project's main goal is to leverage a critical understanding of different visualization methods, across a series of disciplines, as diverse as Biology, Social Networks or the World Wide Web.
Liz Rykert's insight:
Love this site - great collection of examples of visualizing networks of all kinds - human and otherwise.

Complicity is an open access (free to all readers), peer-reviewed journal that publishes original articles on all aspects of education that are informed by the idea of complexity (in its technical, applied, philosophical, theoretical, or narrative manifestations). The journal strives to serve as a forum for both theoretical and practical contributions and to facilitate the exchange of diverse ideas and points of view related to complexity in education.

core skill for leaders " the core skill will be critical thinking, or questioning all assumptions, including one’s own. People will learn though their various communities and in doing so, develop social literacy. Information literacy will be developed by connecting to many networks. Diversity of our knowledge networks can foster innovation and improve our collective ability to adapt". |

Nice piece extolling need to shift facilitation focus to reflect emerging demands of the networks we all work within. Author references centralized, de-centralized and distributed facilitation. My fav quote? When Ed Mitchell refers to Distributed facilitation he says: "Now we’re cooking with psychaedelic rocket fuel." :)

I’ve noticed lately that my mind has been wandering a lot so I wanted to see how attention works and how to manage it better. It turns out a lot of us have wandering minds and struggle to stay focused. In fact, when we’re reading, our minds typically wander anywhere from 20 to 40 percent [...]

This video provides a basic introduction to the science of complex systems, focusing on patterns in nature. (For more information on agent-based modeling, visit http://imaginationtoolbox.org ). Via Decision Intelligence, Complexity Digest
Liz Rykert's insight:
Always looking for good resources to introduce complexity science to others. This looks great.

This is a great introduction to the idea of emergent behavior from complex systems. Many people don't realize that if individuals have very simple behaviors, there can be very complex behaviors when those individuals act in a group. Understanding these emergent patterns is critical for good decision making, because you need to know how the decision you make will set other elements in the system in motion. More and more, our social, economic, political, climate, and other realities have this characteristic. This video focuses on agent-base complex systems, such flocks of birds, schools of fish, or even nanobot swarms to cure cancer.

Agent based modeling still is the best tool to understand complex systems when mathematical modeling gets very complicated.
