Navigating Complexity – An Innovation Dialogue

May 2008 saw the first in an emergent series of meetings exploring the implications of complexity for development.

“What does complexity thinking mean for development interventions?  This innovation dialogue offers a unique opportunity for exploring how emerging insights from the complexity sciences and systems thinking, combined with field practice, could reshape assumptions about the design, monitoring and evaluation of development work.  What does it mean to shift from compliance with external standards to investing in capacities for navigating complexity?”

The meeting report can be downloaded here and presentations and video interviews are available here
