successful change and I looked to nature: How does nature change? What are the
dynamics that an ecosystem, an amoeba, and a brown bear use to co-evolve with

applied to humans and complex human systems?
After much observation and reflection I came up with a simple three step
process (one that other’s have also found): Sense-Test-Adapt.
