Thinking About Emergence: Conditions That Shape What Unfolds

I’ve been thinking a lot about emergence lately.


Emergence is frequently named in conversations about complexity and systems change, yet its implications for how we plan, lead, and make decisions are often left under-explored.


If emergence is a natural phenomenon in complex systems, what does that mean for where we actually have agency, how we show up in the systems we’re part of, and whether the future that unfolds is generative—or extractive?


I recently wrote a longer reflective piece exploring these questions, drawing on insights from various thinkers alongside my own reflections and observations.
