Human System Dynamics

Lots of thought has build on complex adaptive systems. Have any on you seen the work of the Human systems dynamics institute? I have included a description from our website.

"Human systems dynamics (HSD) is a collection of concepts and tools that help make sense of the patterns that emerge from chaos when people work and play together in groups, families, organizations, and communities. (http://www.hsdinstitute.org/hsd-institute/evolution.html)

HSD uses metaphors from the physical, mathematical, and computer sciences to help practitioners understand what is happening in the everyday dynamical interactions in organizations and groups. The concepts are grounded in science, but they continue to emerge as we explore the complex behaviors of human systems. In spite of their application to complex and challenging fields, these metaphors and applications are simple to understand and highly useful." Do you find this valuable?
