Synthesis for the citizen

As it works towards transformation

At stake is the learning of a daily praxis of acting and thinking in complexity, which promotes a regeneration of critical thinking. The learning of this art of living and expressing one's thoughts is a companionship that "Welcome Complexity" offers to every citizen who wishes it.

As he feels responsible

The perceived increasing complexity of the environment is a major challenge for those who feel responsible: the questions they face are intensifying at a time when traditional ways of acting and thinking are proving increasingly unable to grasp this environment in an intelligible way. To accompany this evolution, managers jointly need to adapt themselves and their organization. The challenge is to invite them to reflect on a vision and practices inspired by complex ways of thinking and acting: linking, contextualizing, acting by reflecting on their experience. "Welcome Complexity" aims to support their efforts in this direction in order to restore their capacity for action, to anticipate possible movements, to catalyze the thoughtful adaptation of people and organizations.

As he reflects on his practice

From an open perspective, "Welcome Complexity" is a project of citizens who strive to broaden their "world view" by identifying step by step possible opportunities for the regeneration of society and who do not consider complexity as a problem to be isolated by segmenting phenomena. This project is about :

- Regenerate and enrich our ways of acting and thinking adapted to the stakes of the transformation of our societies

- Develop the capacities of critical attention to the contexts of our interventions

- Construct paths adapted to contemporary problems

- Develop praxis adapted to these paths

- Join what was disjointed : art, philosophy and science

- Regenerating scientific knowledge

- Enlightening the living-together and the doing-together of the city

In short, it is a matter of rekindling the pleasure, even the enthusiasm, of living and doing together by heightening the awareness in each of us of the tension inherent in the contradictions that weave us together.
