THE CHALLENGE OF ADAPTIVE CHANGE
“The significant problems we face today cannot be solved at the same level of thinking we
were at when we created them.”
Albert Einstein
![Page 3: 21 st Century Learning & Faith Formation](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070421/56816076550346895dcf9fef/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
TECHNICAL PROBLEMS Technical problems (even though they
may be complex) can be solved with knowledge and procedures already in hand.
Leadership would be an easy and safe undertaking if organizations and communities only faced problems for which they already knew the solutions. Everyday, people have problems for which they do, in fact, have the necessary know-how and procedures—technical problems.
![Page 4: 21 st Century Learning & Faith Formation](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070421/56816076550346895dcf9fef/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
ADAPTIVE CHALLENGES Adaptive challenges require experiments, new
discoveries, and adjustments from numerous places in the organization.
Without learning new ways—changing attitudes, values, and deep-seated behaviors—people cannot make the adaptive leap necessary to thrive in the new environment. Adaptive challenges call for changes of heart and mind—the transformation of long-standing habits and deeply held assumptions and values.
Leadership is “the activity of mobilizing people to tackle the toughest problems and do the adaptive work
necessary to achieve progress.” (Ronald Heifetz and Martin Linsky)

SOCIAL NETWORK OPERATING SYSTEM
The Social Network, Internet, and Mobile Revolutions are coming together to shift people’s social lives away from densely knit family, neighborhood, and group relationships toward more far-flung, less tight, more diverse personal networks.
![Page 8: 21 st Century Learning & Faith Formation](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070421/56816076550346895dcf9fef/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
SOCIAL NETWORKOPERATING SYSTEM
The Social Networks Revolution provided opportunities—and stresses—for people to reach beyond the world of tightly knit groups afforded people more diversity in
relationships and social worlds—as well as bridges to reach these new worlds and maneuverability to move among them
introduced stress of not having a single home base and of reconciling the conflicting demands of multiple social worlds
![Page 9: 21 st Century Learning & Faith Formation](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070421/56816076550346895dcf9fef/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
SOCIAL NETWORKOPERATING SYSTEM
The Internet Revolution has given people communications power and information-gathering capacities that dwarf those of the past. It has allowed people to become their own publishers and broadcasters and created new methods for social networking. This has changed the point of contact from the household (and work group) to the individual. Each person creates her own internet experiences, tailored to her needs.
![Page 10: 21 st Century Learning & Faith Formation](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070421/56816076550346895dcf9fef/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
SOCIAL NETWORKOPERATING SYSTEM
The Mobile Revolution has allowed ICTs (internet communication technologies) to become body appendages allowing people to access friends and information at will, wherever they go. In return, ICTs are always accessible. There is the possibility of a continuous presence and pervasive awareness of others in the network. People’s physical separation by time and space are less important.
![Page 11: 21 st Century Learning & Faith Formation](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070421/56816076550346895dcf9fef/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
SOCIAL NETWORK OPERATING SYSTEMNetworked Individualism
The three revolutions have made possible the new social operating
system – Networked Individualism. The hallmark of networked individualism is
that people function more as connected individuals and less as embedded group
members.
![Page 12: 21 st Century Learning & Faith Formation](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070421/56816076550346895dcf9fef/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
SOCIAL NETWORK OPERATING SYSTEMNetworked Individualism
This stands in contrast to the longstanding social arrangements formed around large hierarchical bureaucracies and small, densely knit groups such as households, communities, and workgroups.
It is an operating system because it describes the ways in which people connect, communicate, and exchange information.
![Page 13: 21 st Century Learning & Faith Formation](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070421/56816076550346895dcf9fef/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
SOCIAL NETWORKOPERATING SYSTEM
The new social network operating system is: Personal: the individual is the
autonomous center just as she is reaching out from her computer
Multiuser: people are interacting with numerous diverse others
Multitasking: people are doing several things; and Multithreaded: people are doing them more or less simultaneously
![Page 14: 21 st Century Learning & Faith Formation](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070421/56816076550346895dcf9fef/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
LIFE AS NETWORKED INDIVIDUALS
How have you used your social network to make decisions or solve problems – especially through your use of the internet, mobile phones, and social media?
How has your capacity to access information and your network been changed by your use of digital technology?
How has your network of family, friends, acquaintances, and even strangers been affected by your tech use?
How has your ability to concentrate and complete tasks been affected in the always-on world?
Is Facebook making you lonely or feel more connected?
![Page 15: 21 st Century Learning & Faith Formation](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070421/56816076550346895dcf9fef/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
SOCIAL NETWORKS Social Networks are not new.
For 1000s of years people have formed into groups, built strong and weak relationships with others, formed alliances, and spread rumor and gossip.
Humans are social creatures with a need to connect to others; whether we need information, advice, or emotional support, we turn to one another.
![Page 16: 21 st Century Learning & Faith Formation](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070421/56816076550346895dcf9fef/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
SOCIAL NETWORKS
There is a major change in the structure of the web. It’s moving away from being built around the content, and is being rebuilt around the people.
People are spending less time interacting with content and more time communicating with other people.
![Page 17: 21 st Century Learning & Faith Formation](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070421/56816076550346895dcf9fef/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
SOCIAL NETWORKS
Our social network is made up of all the people we’re connected to, all the people they are connected to, all the people they are connected to, and so on.

500
YouOur social networks tend to have clear boundaries, from people we care a lot about (in the center) to people we loosely know (on the periphery). 500 – Weak Ties (you
know but don’t feel close to)
150 – Stable Social Relationships (know each of these people and which of them know each other)
50 – Communicate Group (aware of what’s going on in their lives)
12-15 – Sympathy Group
5 – Inner Circle (advice, emotional support, times of trouble)
![Page 19: 21 st Century Learning & Faith Formation](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070421/56816076550346895dcf9fef/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)

Most of our communication is with people closest to us – at the center of our social network
![Page 20: 21 st Century Learning & Faith Formation](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070421/56816076550346895dcf9fef/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
SOCIAL NETWORKS
1. We have evolved to form groups. People naturally form groups. People will make considerable
sacrifices for the benefit of their group.
In certain situations, groups think better than individuals. It was wise of our ancestors to stick together.
![Page 21: 21 st Century Learning & Faith Formation](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070421/56816076550346895dcf9fef/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
SOCIAL NETWORKS
2. Most people have independent groups of friends that don’t overlap. Each one of us uniquely connects multiple
groups of people together. Large populations of people are made up of
these many small connected groups of friends who are often interlinked by unique individuals.
The only way information can spread through a large population is through many regular people. Everyone is an influencer.
Social networks of connected independent groups of friends is the way ideas spread.
![Page 22: 21 st Century Learning & Faith Formation](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070421/56816076550346895dcf9fef/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
SOCIAL NETWORKS
3. We have 4-6 groups formed around life stage, hobbies, and shared experiences. Each group usually contains fewer than 10
people; the average is 4 group members. It’s tempting to think we’re connected to a
very diverse set of people but we’re connected to people like us.
The people in each group know each other well, but they don’t know the people in the other groups.
![Page 23: 21 st Century Learning & Faith Formation](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070421/56816076550346895dcf9fef/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)

SOCIAL NETWORKS
1. Social networks are not new, and the social web is here to stay.
2. Sharing is a means to an end. People share information because it makes life easier, builds relationships, and shapes how we appear to others. 80% of our communication is with the 5-10 people we are closest to.
![Page 25: 21 st Century Learning & Faith Formation](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070421/56816076550346895dcf9fef/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
SOCIAL NETWORKS
3. Our social networks are made up of small, independent groups, connected through us. Each one of us uniquely connects multiple groups of people together. Connected groups of friends are required for ideas to spread.
4. The people closest to use have disproportionate influence over us. Most of us have 10 strong ties who hold influence over what we think and do.
![Page 26: 21 st Century Learning & Faith Formation](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070421/56816076550346895dcf9fef/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
SOCIAL NETWORKS
5. How we behave is learned from observing others. We are more influenced by the behavior of people in our group, and people we perceive to be like us.
6. Many of our decisions are made by our nonconscious, emotional brain. Our brain doesn’t remember details because it needs to prioritize what it stores in memory. It remembers relationships, and makes up details to fill in the gaps in memory.
![Page 27: 21 st Century Learning & Faith Formation](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070421/56816076550346895dcf9fef/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
SOCIAL NETWORKS
7. We’re wired to avoid trying new things, especially when they don’t match our beliefs. Changing people’s attitudes is incredibly hard, but changing their behavior is easier. Starting with small requests for behavioral change often leads to attitudinal change.
8. People will increasingly turn to their friends for information.

The curriculum is the entire course of the church’s life, found in the fundamental forms of that life. It is the priestly, prophetic, and political work of didache, leiturgia, koinonia, kerygma, and diakonia.
![Page 37: 21 st Century Learning & Faith Formation](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070421/56816076550346895dcf9fef/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
VISION: ANCIENT & FUTUREThe church educates to all of these five classical forms, as well as through all of them:
to koinonia (community and communion) by engaging in the forms of community and communion;
to leiturgia (worship and prayer) by engaging in the forms of prayer and worship and spirituality;
to kerygma (proclaiming the word of God) by attention to and practicing and incarnating the kerygma, “Jesus is risen,” in speech of our own lives, especially the speech of advocacy;
to diakonia (service and outreach) by attention to our own service and reaching out to others, personally and communally, locally and globally;
to didache (teaching and learning) by attention to the most appropriate forms of teaching and learning
![Page 38: 21 st Century Learning & Faith Formation](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070421/56816076550346895dcf9fef/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
VISION: ANCIENT & FUTURE
Community will have elements of kerygmatic speech, of teaching, of outreach, and of prayer.
Worship will have elements of community, teaching, outreach, and prophetic speech.
Teaching will incorporate elements of outreach, prayer, community, and kerygma.

THE SHIFT TO NETWORK MODELS
“I don’t think education is about centralized instruction anymore;
rather, it is the process of establishing oneself as a node in a broad network
of distributed creativity.”
Joi Ito
![Page 51: 21 st Century Learning & Faith Formation](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070421/56816076550346895dcf9fef/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
THE SHIFT TO NETWORK MODELS
“Planned information structures like textbooks and courses simply can’t adapt quickly enough to incorporate network-speed
information development. Instead of being the hub of the learning experiences, books,
courses, and classrooms become something more like a node in part of a much broader
(often global) network. The shift to networks is transformative in how a society organizes
itself.”
George Siemens
![Page 52: 21 st Century Learning & Faith Formation](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070421/56816076550346895dcf9fef/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
FAITH FORMATION NETWORKS
Religious networks provide a rich set of connections each of us can make to people in both our online and offline worlds who can help us with our spiritual development and faith growth pursuits. Today we can turn to people, organizations, and resources anywhere in the world to help us answer questions, connect to relevant content and resources, or just share their own experiences with us.
![Page 53: 21 st Century Learning & Faith Formation](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070421/56816076550346895dcf9fef/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
FAITH FORMATION NETWORKS
Instead of being the center of faith formation experiences, programs,
classes, and books now become nodes on a much broader faith formation
network that is lifelong and lifewide.
The shift to networks will be transformative in how we imagine and
organize faith formation for all ages and generations.
