As the types of skills needed in the labour market change rapidly, individual workers will have to engage in life-long learning if they are to achieve fulfilling and rewarding careers. For companies, reskilling and upskilling strategies will be critical if they are to find the talent they need and to contribute to socially responsible approaches to the future of work. For policy-makers, reskilling and retraining the existing workforce are essential levers to fuel future economic growth, enhance societal resilience in the face of technological change and pave the way for future-ready education systems for the next generation of workers.

By: Philippe Leroux-Martin Many peacebuilding interventions seeking to support rule of law get stuck. The reason they get stuck may have little to do with the law and its technical dimensions and more with a tendency to treat certain rule of law systems as if they were orderly, regular, and predictable. In reality, peacebuilding practitioners work with complex systems, namely systems that are disorderly, irregular, and unpredictable. This report draws upon several years of experimentation and research in the field of systems thinking and complexity at USIP. It suggests that practitioners may be better at managing confusion and uncertainty by adopting more flexible approaches as they support change in conflict affected environments.

An agriculture researcher from the University of Florida was invited to K-State to discuss how gender roles affect agricultural practices around the world. Kathleen Colverson, associate director of international agriculture programs at the University of Florida, presented research on women’s roles in agriculture around the world during a seminar in Waters Hall on Thursday. The Feed the Future Innovation Lab for Collaborative Research on Sustainable Intensification, or SIIL, invited Colverson to Kansas State as an educational opportunity for researchers, faculty and students as a part of an ongoing agricultural seminar series. Colverson shared her research on women’s roles in agriculture in a presentation titled “Why Integrate Gender into Research Projects? The Importance of Systems Thinking.”

A critical capacity that ensures generative engagement is a deep understanding of power from an HSD perspective. In HSD we talk about “power with” rather than “power over” to describe generative relationships. Power is balanced, meaning that the ability to influence is balanced against willingness to be influenced. Do those who wield influence in the system listen to and consider perspectives of those who have less influence? Do those who traditionally have less influence in the system believe their voices can and will be heard? In generative systems, this balance where power is shared across the system sets conditions for patterns of authenticity, reciprocity, and justice.

Adaptive Action, Inquiry, and Pattern Logic are the foundations of HSD, but we have many other models and methods that support wise action in uncertain times. One that I have found useful this week is Questions in Uncertainty. I will share a cycle of reflection based on these questions with you, and invite you into one of your own.
