Wicked Issues: Adaptive Action for Compassionate Communities - CND

Individuals and communities need new skills to help them thrive in complex, unpredictable, and often threatening situations. Every community has a unique combination of opportunities and challenges. Histories of trauma and the gifts of long-term relationships influence what is present today and what is possible for tomorrow. Sustainable change requires commitment, action, and continuous learning. There is no one-size-fits-all recipe for compassion, and dialogue alone is never enough. You need a variety of tools and a robust theory of change to shift patterns toward compassion in your community.

The challenge of change may seem overwhelming and impossibly complex, but you need simple and flexible options for action. One set of simple tools—based in theory and practice of complexity—help you build Adaptive Capacity for yourself and your community.
