Developmental Leadership Institute

A community of practice for living systems-centered leaders evolving roles and capabilities in an AI-integrated world.

What unique value-adding roles are we being called to as living systems?

Today, leaders are wrestling with some profoundly challenging questions:

How do we navigate the process of integrating emerging technology without losing what makes us unique and gives our work meaning?
How do we need to think differently about evolving roles?
What capabilities should we be focused on developing ourselves and within our teams to remain relevant and effective?

Our community is built around a shared premise and conviction:

That we as living systems have uniquely important roles to play in an AI-integrated world, which require new levels of capability, culture, and consciousness.

However, a fundamental shift in how we think about human and living systems development is needed now, if we are to evolve into these emerging roles.

From skills and knowledge to co-evolutionary capacity

One of the primary challenges today is that things are moving so quickly, we can’t keep up with the old ways of learning.

Many have realized the need to “learn how to learn.” Yet self-directed skill and knowledge building is arguably not enough.

AI is learning how to learn too—very quickly.

Our work at DLI goes one layer deeper, to building co-evolutionary capacity.

Such capacity requires more than functional skills and knowledge. It requires the ability to see beyond existence to potential.

A central instrument we use, along with others, is the 6 Developmental Capabilities framework.

Through our work exploring and developing these capabilities, our capacity to co-evolve with our stakeholders through a unique value-adding process evolves.

As do our unique value-adding roles as individuals, teams, organizations, communities, and industries.
