25 years after helping to launch Oklahoma City's rebirth, I returned to celebrate. Why? Because OKC is the birthplace of Strategic Doing.
From 1993-2000, I helped guide the civic leadership in the rebirth of their city. In the process, I worked on a new model of complex collaboration. It turns out we can build these complex collaborations by following a discipline of simple rules..
In my presentation, I explained how I took the lessons we learned from OKC and applied them in a wide range of really complex situations.
Now it’s an open source discipline we are spreading across the world with a growing network of universities.
My path with OKC's leadership is crossing again, and we have some exciting announcements coming.
Stay tuned.

California, she and her team guided conversations that led to the
launch of several complex collaborations, and perhaps even more
valuable, an on-going conversation about progress and what should
be accomplished next.
