Institut für Praktische Emergenz

cropped-LOGO_IPE_Kurzform@15x.png

Our world is becoming increasingly complex and thus more uncertain. Global problems are more urgent than ever before, yet planning and controlling have lost their effectiveness. They are being replaced by emergence, which refers to self-organisation processes that cannot be planned and controlled, but instead can be fostered.

The Institut für Praktische Emergenz enables and connects people so that they can foster conditions for emergence and self-organising processes in organisations and communities. We help leaders to go off-script.

Here we think about what it takes to make this happen now - together with those who deal with transformation on a daily basis.

OUR OFFER

The Institut für Praktische Emergenz supports collaboration, innovation and self-organising processes. We show leaders how to deal wisely with uncertainty, complexity and risk.

Why Emergence?

Emergence is when new structures, properties and states evolve from the interaction of a variety of factors - without coordination or organisation: Self-organising processes based on networks. The whole is more than the sum of its parts.

Grasping the idea of emergence and its implications is essential in a complex and dynamic environment.

"Emergence is the only thing that can handle these kind of complexities. We know this, we know the science on it. You can't control or plan it. You can only foster the conditions for emergence, behave with integrity and hope that others will do the same."

Tyson Yunkaporta (Sand Talk)

Training Programs

The art of fostering conditions for emergence

Be a driver of transformation, fuel innovation within your organisation or your community and enable collaboration. Emergence copes with complexity more effectively than conventional measures of planning and control. In our training programs we show leaders how to foster conditions for emergence so that transformation becomes possible.
