Adaptive Leadership and Personal Effectiveness for a VUCA World
Leaders and high performers today recognise that the world is getting more and more complex and are realising the old and entrenched ways of working based on linear problem solving and solutioning may be relevant in the past industrial age but no longer effective in today’s digital and hyper connected age.
What is needed instead is a non-linear and systemic way of solutioning that effectively deals with and adapts to the complex and uncertain nature of the world we live in.
We need to work in a fluid and adaptive manner to deal with our challenges.
Emergent Solutioning™ takes a systems approach to generate adaptive and holistic solutions that are more effective in helping us achieve our desired outcomes in complex situations.
With more than 1,600 coaching sessions helping leaders and individuals globally who have gone through some of the toughest and most complex challenges in life and work, Complexity Coaches Darrel and Steven have found that the secret to adaptive leadership and personal effectiveness is not having the best solution but having the best solutioning, an approach they call “Emergent Solutioning™”.
At its core, Emergent Solutioning™ is a liberating approach that releases us from the shackles of linear thinking.
In a world where change is constant and uncertainty prevails, Emergent Solutioning™ equips us with the tools to thrive in a complex environment.
Immensely practical, effective, and life changing, Emergent Solutioning™ is about navigating the complex nature of the world we live in, and how to adaptively manage complexity and uncertainty to create momentum and impetus towards achieving our desired outcome.
Here’s what our clients say about our workshops!
Mindsets are affirmed and challenged simultaneously!
Family Coach, Ministry of Social and Family Development (MSF)
The workshop is very eye opening and insightful, even for someone like me who have been working in the social service landscape for 3-4 years, there are still things to bring home and perspectives to be challenged. Trainer Darrel is very patient, and tries his best to conduct his training in our work context. Questions are always encouraged and mindsets are affirmed and challenged simultaneously. Can’t wait to implement his ideas during my home visitations!

Some of you may be wondering: How practical and effective is R.I.S.E. Emergent Solutioning™?
It’s a fair question.
Here’s a true story to illustrate how R.I.S.E. Emergent Solutioning™ helps solve real world problems.
Leaders today need to change their thinking and mindset and embrace complexity. They need to recognize that linear thinking models are not effective in solving complex, real-world problems and adopt an emergent solutioning mindset that values experimentation, learning, and adaptation.
When faced with complex challenges in our lives and work, adaptive sensemaking and scaffolding provide powerful strategies for navigating through uncertainty.
