LAB Human System Dynamics
Human System Dynamics (HSD) is:
- A process for addressing uncertainty based on inquiry.
- A systemic approach, based on inquiry and a system of simple yet powerful questions.
- A field of theory and practice aimed at building adaptive capacity to help individuals and communities find options for action in complex situations that create seemingly impossible problems to address.
We delve into this theoretical and practical approach to understand and manage change in human systems with Miriam Bayés and Ingrid Astiz Jensen.
How to identify patterns in complexity and detect opportunities from chaos.
Much of personal success derives from the ability to clearly detect patterns in complex systems.
They allow us to understand and act boldly to transform chaos and uncertainty into opportunity.
Learnings and resources from the Runroom LAB Human System Dynamics
Here we share someinsightson Human System Dynamics extracted from the Runroom LAB with Miriam Bayés.
Human System Dynamics (HSD) is:
- A systemic approach touncertainty, based on understanding what is happening around us with a system ofsimple questionsthat are also powerful.
- HSD focuses oninquiry, not on finding answers or solutions.
- A field of theory and practice aimed at buildingindividual and collective adaptive capacityto find options for action in complex situations that create seemingly impossible problems to address.
- An iterative model that emerges as an evolution ofchange management modelsin changing contexts, following other trends or previous models like theKottermodel, theADKARmodel, or theAgilemodel based on agility and with many points in common with HSD.
HSD proposes anew leadership paradigmwith a unique vision:
"We accompany people to thrive. We help themclearly see the patterns, we help themunderstand themand encourage them toactboldly to transform turbulence and uncertainty intopossibilityfor everyone."*
In addition to some key techniques we experimented with, we were particularly captivated by the concept ofGenerative Engagementwhich seeks to create ideal conditions to interact with others and make decisions in multifunctional teams, generating patterns of reciprocity, authenticity, and fairness.

Takeaways from Miriam
- In complexity, there are no problems, there are PATTERNS.
- INQUIRY is essential to see and understand those patterns.
- Knowing how to ADAPT to the changing environment and being able to make decisions and act despite uncertainty.
- Define the conditions or SIMPLE RULES that allow us to work together in harmony with autonomy and collaboration.
- Being comfortable in uncertainty.
