Simplicity
In today’s world, simplicity is often seen as a desirable outcome in various areas of life, including design, technology, and communication. As such, the concept of simplicity can be a catalyst for transformation. By prioritising simplicity, businesses and individuals can streamline processes, reduce clutter, and improve efficiency. Simple solutions can also be more accessible and user-friendly, which can, in turn, promote wider adoption and better outcomes. Ultimately, embracing simplicity as a core value can lead to transformative changes in both personal and professional contexts. Simplicity is becoming increasingly important in the face of VUCA environments, particularly in organisational transformation and the future of work. In VUCA environments, organisations must be agile and adaptable to change, which can be difficult when complex processes and systems are convoluted. Simplifying processes, systems, and communication can help organisations more efficiently and effectively navigate VUCA environments.
Come with us as we explore the essential features that give rise to all the elegance and beauty (and complexity!) we see in the world.
Spring in Paris! April 14-16, 2023. Our theme is "Inclusion - Expanding the spectrum to create wins for everyone"
Join us in Paris!
Last September at Oxford we focused on the environment and climate action. For our April conference in Paris we turn to organizational climate and “inclusion.” To paraphrase Verna Meyers, if diversity is being invited to the party, then inclusion is being asked to dance. So, for diversity to flourish, it needs a little push–a little umph. That “umph” or spark is inclusion. Join us as we explore new ways to elevate performance, drive engagement, and solve complex social problems more creatively and more inclusively.
And as always, the conference is also a time to reconnect with old friends, make new ones, and join in as we explore topics that matter. Come explore with us. We are inviting you to dance.

Inclusion is in the air this spring in Paris!
Schedule
The schedule is still firming up, but we are currently speaking with half a dozen inclusion practitioners in Paris, London, Amsterdam, Oslo, and elsewhere. We’re also speaking with organizations in the greater Paris region known for best practices in the domain, for them to share their learning. And finally, we’re crafting a challenge to actually work through inclusion issues during the conference. Of course, it’s Paris … so an after-hours apéro at a local art gallery, featuring an inclusive art exhibit, is also on the agenda.
Location
We are back at the HEC Alumni Association in central Paris! Details will follow, but expect to share a glass of wine or bubbly on the terrace Saturday afternoon. Sunday's location is TBD. Stay tuned!

2022 Fall in Oxford: Enough!
Join us next month in Oxford! The earth is heating up, and we’ve had enough! Let’s discuss ways that we can arrest the trajectory of climate change. And then let’s take those methods home and create positive change right in our own neighborhoods and communities.
As always, this is also a time to reconnect with old friends, make new ones, and join in as we explore “climate practice”–changing the climate for the better. Encouraging others to embrace climate change is only half the battle; it’s time to start acting. Hence, the theme of this fall’s conference: Enough! The climate is changing; we have to as well. And as with any complex system, small changes (in our own lives) can have an outsized impact. Come explore them with us!

Sunday morning we will enjoy a book panel with our newest authors, followed by a brainstorming session: How should we celebrate 20 years of CCC/CL in 2023. Before departing, we will enjoy a new treat: tCL in action. Listen to the personal stories of some of our nearest and dearest tCLers as they discuss their personal journeys.

Enough!
This year’s theme is climate change–not what it is or why it’s happening, but what each and every one of us can do about it. We know this: all change is local, and small changes can have significant impacts. Let’s put those truisms of “change” to the test. What small acts can we initiate in our own communities that might spark a local movement in the right direction? There’s a lot to explore. Come join us!
Speakers & Facilitators
Our tCL members never fail to step up, whether presenting their own work, or connecting the community to practitioners around the world. Joining us for fall 2022 will be Anne-Fleur Goll from Deloitte, as well as our very own Jacob Mayne and Emmanuelle Berenge.

2022 Spring in Paris: Regenerate
Join us next month in Paris! We know this is short notice, but if you can make it, we will pull out all the stops and make this spring a regenerative experience.
Reconnect with old friends, make new ones, and join in as we explore regenerative practices. So much of organisational life is about extracting and exploiting “what works” that we often forget or overlook the need to explore ways to regenerate personal resources like energy, intuition, and wisdom. This collective blind spot can and does have serious implications for a sustainable future.

Regenerate
It’s been said that we humans lack a nuanced understanding of the relationships between ourselves and the wider world. For example, take the relationship between global warming, zoonotic disease transmission, and deforestation. As the earth heats up, the population of mid-size mammals is decreasing while the population of smaller mammals–often the food source of the midsize mammals–is burgeoning. And it is those smaller mammals that tend to carry more diseases. As we humans encroach on nature, then, looking for ever more space and natural resources, we are increasingly coming into contact with these disease-causing mammals, like bats, thus increasing the chances of zoonotic disease transmission and yet another pandemic. In the last 2 decades we’ve not only experienced the hottest temperatures in recorded history and some of the most powerful storms and forest fires, but we have experienced near-pandemics with SARS, MERS, H1N1, and now a full-blown pandemic with COVID-19. What was formerly a once-in-a-century event is now commonplace. Indeed, some scientists predict that we have a 47-57% chance of experiencing another COVID-like pandemic in the next 25 years.
The path we are on is not sustainable. Moreover, as complex systems go, this pattern is playing out at the organisational and personal levels as well. What’s to be done about it? That is what we hope to tackle in this spring’s conference: simple regenerative practices that we can then tie to our communities and organisations. Join us!

Our tCL members never fail to step up, whether presenting their own work or connecting the community to practitioners around the world!

Braving Crises
The word “crisis” came from the Greek verb “krinein”, meaning to separate, distinguish and judge in order to decide a course of action in a difficult context. Hippocratus was said to have used it during the turning point of a disease when a decision had to be taken, resulting in a change for the better (recovery) or for the worse (death).
Therein lies the dilemma and complexity of a crisis for we know there’s a lot more hidden behind that one decision. There’s no playbook to be had and no best practice to follow because by it’s very nature, a crisis is unexpected, mired in uncertainty and disruptive as well as destabilizing. The thought of undoing a condition or situation forever is enough to overwhelm and paralyze.
What happens when a multitude of decisions are needed, all at once, and their chain reaction has the propensity to create wicked problems of their own — ones that will change the question of life and death on more than one dimension?
The COVID-19 pandemic started out as a health crisis, but very quickly, it escalated into multi-faceted socio-economic crises of a monumental scale. How do we brave these times to thrive and not just survive? The future looks decidedly choppy, yet offer hope when we look hard enough for new possibilities.
Our spring e-Xperience opens up space for us to tackle this and dwell on the courageous lessons from the field and research, covering:
- Resilience and Leadership: how is this transposed from self to a systemic change-making scale? What does leadership in crisis look like?
- Decision-making: how do we deal with conflicting agendas and paradoxes amidst moving targets and unknowns? Where does ‘Ethics’ fit?
- Bouncing forth vs back: what do we need to pivot in ambiguity towards opportunity in a scenario of shifting futures and long-drawn crises ramifications? How will these define needed and transposable skills?
- The World Beyond Crises: Is there such a thing? What are we learning? What will work, education, institutions and society look like if we re-frame crises as windows of opportunity?
- Change agency: how do we help our stakeholders and clients re-invent themselves and others for a tomorrow that’s constantly shifting?
The scale and complexity of our times calls for retrospective foresight on a communal and societal level. It is a call for us to brave the crises collectively so self-organizing systemic change for good might get a chance for success.
Speakers, Facilitators & Moderators
The wealth of our community and network never fails to enrich our e-Xperience. We are fortunate to have academicians, practitioners, researchers and leaders from all walks of life who care about sharing and inter-connecting, fuelling further learning and progress about systemic and self-organizing change.
For our Spring e-Xperience, we are welcoming:

Nurturing the Art of Change
Art and power have always been begrudging bedfellows and yet the power of art – that sight, sound, smell, taste, rhythm or feeling – engages emotion in such a way as to provide communication, understanding and participation at loftier levels than analytical visions and approaches. These feelings may in turn spur thinking, engagement and even action.
Art traverses language, culture, borders and even centuries. The invitation to enter the artist’s mind and uncover the intimate process of artistic creativity is more appealing today than it has ever been. Once here, how can we equip ourselves to address our vast social, environmental and economic crises and injustices? Our e-Xperience will be a space to engage with academics, practitioners, artists and each other to cultivate the answers:
- How is art impacting the practices of leadership and change agency?
- Where is it being used for organisational, social or territorial change?
- How can I respond to complex change through art?
- How can I bring art into my daily practice?
- What are the necessary conditions for the artistic process to take place?
- How can I trigger the creative process to think differently?
The high-pitched calls to action that now beckon require us to kickstart our collective imaginations and creativity – building a capacity to conceive of what might be in ourselves, our teams, organisations, communities and in society at large. In the face of the chaos that looms – having tried and tested the linear and the rational – let us now come together to nurture the art of change, and see what from it grows.
We are very fortunate to have academics, practitioners and artists, all passionate about the interconnectedness between art, management and change, joining us to facilitate diverse and interactive online sessions.
This integrated e-Xperience will be delivered over 9 consecutive interactive sessions starting on Monday the 14th September and concluding on Monday the 28th September 2020. Sessions will run on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays for 60 or 90 minutes. Please check the full details below.
Here you will find the full programme book including the speakers biographies, the sessions synopses, and the suggested readings.

Exploring Innovation Spaces
Labs, Incubators, Accelerators, Camps, Hubs, Studios, Hackathons, Garages—these are only a few of the many shapes and forms of the new spaces that have sprung up in recent years to drive change and innovation. Some spaces foster entrepreneurship and the exploration of new business opportunities, while others wrestle with complex social challenges. All of these spaces drive impact and change.
Regardless of their form, these spaces are growing, attracting attention worldwide, and setting a new “must have” in today’s fast-paced, hyperconnected, and complex environment.
In this world of pivots, iterations, and sprints, where everyone seeks their inner Silicon Valley, this conference will offer the opportunity to stop for a moment, reflect and explore the hype.
We are very fortunate to have academics, researchers and practitioners passionate about innovation and innovation spaces joining us as speakers. They will facilitate diverse interactive sessions and share their know-how, giving us a taste of their experiences, and engaging us in a reflective, and dare we say ‘innovative’ space.
So, whether you are part of or are going to be a part of such spaces, or whether you are a practitioner looking for ways to innovate, this conference is for you.
We will draw on the latest research on innovation spaces and benefit from the broad experience in the room to answer questions around:
- How did this phenomenon come to be and what can we learn from its history?
- Why do these spaces continue to be the celebrated exceptions in our organizations, and not simply “the way” that work gets done?
- What are their different types and what are the frameworks, techniques, tools that animate them?
- What is the impact of ‘innovation spaces’ on the system?
- What role for the ‘space curator’ or change agent?
- What is the impact on leadership and what is the role of the ‘leader’?
- How can I grow the ‘innovation space’ in my practice?
- Can tCL be an ‘innovation space’? How?

Re-imagining Work
From rapid adoption of automation and AI technologies to demographic shifts and different consumer pulls, the world is changing at a rapid pace and with it the workplace, the workforce and the nature of work itself. We speak of the 4th industrial revolution or the 3rd cognitive revolution; a new era that has fundamentally altered the way we live, work and relate to one another. Yet, as billions of people connect around the world, social inequality is on the rise with the widening gap between rich and poor. Today, we face a future of unlimited possibilities and gruelling uncertainties. New modes of employment are on the rise, with gig, sharing, or platform economies; Progressive models of organising are gaining in popularity with the move from hierarchy to wirearchy and a marked emphasis on horizontalism, self-management and agility. What’s more, the traditional boundaries between home and office, night and day, work and leisure are blurring…
What does the future hold?
In this dynamic landscape, this conference will be the space to engage around the various facets of work through a critical and reflective lens. Together, we will re-imagine the future of work, how it will be organised, and our very own current approaches.
We will tackle the following questions:
- How will work be organised in the future and how will that shape our organisations?
- What is the meaning of work, and can we imagine it beyond success, recognition and personal achievement?
- How can people be better equipped for that future? What are their most relevant assets and skills and how can we grow them?
- How will these futures affect the practice of leadership and change agency?
- What can we do today to re-imagine and reshape our organisations, our societies and our own work?
