 "But emergence notices the way small actions and connections create complex systems,

patterns that become ecosystems and societies. Emergence is our inheritance as a part of this

universe; it is how we change. Emergent strategy is how we intentionally change in ways that

grow our capacity to embody the just and liberated worlds we long for." Bell 2017 p2

 We are socialized to see what is wrong, missing, off, to tear

down the ideas of others and uplift our own. To a certain degree, our entire future may depend

on learning to listen, listen without assumptions or defenses.

The Emergent Strategy Ideation Institute is a hub to experiment, think, facilitate, learn and share emergent strategy. ESII builds movement capacity to create a more just and equitable world through facilitation, training, coaching, and strategy development.
