Adaptive Action introduces readers to a problem-solving method that is rooted in theories of chaos and complexity. This elegant method leads readers into reflective action with three deceptively simple questions: What? So what? Now what? The first leads to careful observation. The second invites thoughtful consideration of options and implications. The third incites effective action. Together, these questions and tools that support them foster productive and creative engagement with organizational uncertainty.

Review:
"Adaptive Action offers new ways to think about the limitations in traditional planning: it enables you to name and explore the uncertainty in your systems; it promotes shorter cycles of action and feedback, enabling you to respond to unexpected events and take corrective action more quickly."--Leadership Excellence

"Staying a step ahead is very difficult, but Adaptive Action provides the tools and questions that every leader should ask at work and at home. Presenting a simple, flexible, and iterative approach that includes inquiry, discovery, shifts, and action, this book provides a blueprint for everyone looking to increase organizational capacity and creative thinking."--Cindy Elkins, Vice President "IT Americas at Genentech "

"Adaptive Action takes a giant leap forward. It moves us closer to understanding how complexity impacts us, our organizations, and society. Then, it reveals how we can be proactive in managing today and influencing tomorrow."--David W. Jamieson, University of St. Thomas and Past President

"Adaptive Action does an excellent job of building on the theories and methods that underlie our current thinking about complexity. Eoyang and Holladay provide an introduction to practical tools that, before now, have not been gathered into one volume. They organize these resources in a way that takes the reader progressively deeper into the application of adaptive action and brings complexity into greater focus. This book demonstrates how a powerful, but simple framework can uncover deeper meanings and influence change."--Maya Townsend, Founder and Principal Consultant
