Professor John Turner and Nigel Thurlow joined me ahead of the release of The Flow System Playbook. We asked how a practitioner bridges the gap between theory and practice when the problems are complex.
Backgrounds that shaped the book
The three of us come from very different places. I flew fighter jets, and Nigel worked on a production line, and John researches and teaches. We talk about how those experiences shaped the playbook.
The Triple Helix of Flow
The Flow System connects complexity thinking, distributed leadership and team science. We explain how the Triple Helix of Flow ties them together. Each team has to apply the methods to its own context, and coaches have to adapt with it.
Tools for practitioners
The playbook carries knowledge for practitioners and explains their role. It introduces the Hexi tool for exploration and for facilitating workshops. Free tools and resources help organizations get started.
Human factors, human performance and mental health all sit inside the Flow System, with evidence behind each.
Where does your organization’s practice drift furthest from the evidence?
