David Ehrlichman, co-founder and coordinator of Converge, a network of systems strategists, designers, facilitators, educators, and evaluators committed to co-creating positive impact joins Enterprise Radio. He’s the author of Impact Networks: Create Connection, Spark Collaboration, and Catalyze Systemic Change.
This episode of Enterprise Radio is in association with the Author Channel.
Listen to host Eric Dye & guest David Ehrlichman discuss the following:
- What inspired you to write this book?
- You say that “networks are all around us, whether we’re aware of them or not.” What can we learn by seeing and understanding the networks around us?
- You say that “the approaches we have used to address simple and complicated issues are falling short when it comes to dealing with complex and chaotic issues. What got us here is not going to get us to where we need to go.” Can you explain?
- You write that “even though in some ways it seems we have never been more divided, it also has never been more possible for individuals and organizations to work together across boundaries and create change.” What did you mean by that?
- What are impact networks and how are they different from other kinds of networks like social networks?
- What does leadership look like in the context of navigating the unknown? What critical skills do leaders need in this age of complexity?
