Welcome, internet explorer

You've found the world wide website of Christian Alden Jacobs.

By day, I’m a transdisciplinary design researcher and systems designer known to facilitate action research in service of mission-oriented innovation.

By night, I research and write about strategy theory in the context of circular causal and complex adaptive systems. I also tend to reflect on the role of the observer in the system being observed. 

Causal thickets and schisms are all around us. I believe—with humility, kindness, and mutual learning—we may as well partner together where it may be time to make careful change.

If you're up for a chat, I'd probably enjoy getting to know you and learning what you're up to.
