Emergent Strategy

I don't believe I need to know everything when there is so much knowledge that already exist in the spaces around me. I do believe in harvesting the wisdom that we all have to work for the greater good, as I often do to when I'm using an emergent strategy approach, customized based on the needs of my clients. Because Adrienne Maree Brown's Emergent Strategy invites us to feel, map, assess and learn from the patterns around us, I am able to support clients through a comprehensive journey to meet their goals. So what exactly is emergent strategy? Check out its tenants below.

The 9 Principles of Emergent Strategy

1. Small is good, small is all. (The large is a reflection of the small.)

2. Change is constant. (Be like water.)

3. There is always enough time for the right work.

4. There is a conversation in the room that only these people at this moment can have. Find it.

5. Never failure, always a lesson.

6. Trust the people. If you trust the people, they become trustworthy.

7. Move at the speed of trust. Focus on critical connections more than critical mass --build resilience by building the relationships.

8. Less prep, more presence.

9. What you pay attention to grows.
