Episode 73 - Defining HOP - Complexity (part 2)

The (thrilling?) conclusion to our Complexity discussion. We do some live operational learning role play about Andy's morning and learn about the "Big 5". We end with some area to dip your toe into operational learning if this is new to you.

We attempt multiple ways of operational learning using Andy's morning to show how even best intentions cannot makeup for linear thinking.

The complexity discussion continued! This one includes a story of Andy and Matt operationally learning about normal (but not common) work.

We continue our complexity discussion and get into some tangible examples.

We're taking a couple of weeks off and will be back with our regularly scheduled episodes on 1/14/2026

We're starting a new mini-series around how we define "what HOP is" and the 3 key elements that differentiate from other practices. First up, Complexity Science.

We explore a challenge that seems to impact all of the places we visit - defining a problem when a perfect solution does not exist.

We discuss how Bloom's Taxonomy highlights a need for change in how HOP learners apply the principles (and beyond).

We discuss how changing the way we view discipline as a way to drive accountability does not mean that we lower expectations of our teams or the people we work with.

We discuss what it's like to constantly push for change in an organization that is set in its ways. Also, there may be a poem released at some point?
