The Adaptive Organisation is a weekly publication exploring how leaders can understand and respond to AI’s impact on their organisations — through the lens of complexity science.

Each article uses a concept from complex adaptive systems theory — emergence, strange attractors, autopoiesis, path dependency — as a way of seeing what is actually happening when AI enters an organisation. The goal is not to predict the future, but to think more clearly about it.

Who this is for

Leaders, strategists, and practitioners who want to move beyond AI hype. People who sense that the standard frameworks are not adequate for what AI is actually doing to organisations, and who are looking for better mental models.

What we publish

One well-researched, long-form article every week. No product reviews. No listicles. No “top 10 ways AI will change everything.” Just careful thinking about AI and human complex adaptive systems.
