About the EEI Blog.

Using a lens of complex adaptive systems, this blog will explore organizational resiliency by discussing research and cases of project teams that have overcome significant adversity. Complex adaptive systems are characterized by self-organization, hierarchy building, emergence, and learning.  In this blog, you will be introduced to this approach to building resilient teams and organizations. Please feel free to ask questions and add comments about the ideas presented here. In the coming months, we will be sharing with you links and resources that you may find useful as you work with your team members to help them overcome adversity. Please keep in mind that an underlying principle of this approach is to derive organizational learning from the experience of adversity to build adaptive capacity for the future.
