A new approach to comPlex problem management

Mastering Chaos

We all have problems, right? Life is chaotic when we’re overwhelmed by confusing, unsolvable problems, from the global to the personal. Chaos is all around us, and no one seems to know what to do. But there is hope! This website can help you learn how studies of chaos and complexity are leading to new thinking about all these problems. We also offer tools and resources to use in figuring out what’s going on in your family or workplace. Let us help you master your chaos!

Some of our complex challenges

However, the problems we face are not all global.

What is revolutionary is the understanding that the same pattern exists everywhere.  Nothing works, from families to work, to school to community.  Relationships are all broken. That’s the bad news. The good news is that we have some pretty good ideas for how to change those patterns so they work. Complexity is elegantly simple.

There she found the chaos of her family on a massive scale and understood that soon, it was coming for all of us….and how to stop it rolling over you.
