This the first of two very special conversations with my dear friend Dan Palmer. I am greatly privileged to have been in fellowship with Dan within Carol Sanford's developmental community - Change Agent Development - where Dan was my guide and became a dear friend. I first encountered Dan at the threshold of Carol's community, and from that first exchange and over many connections and conversations that followed both in community and directly, I always felt both nurtured and provoked to deepen my developmental processes by my relationship with Dan. This conversation focuses on one of the frameworks he evolved, based on Alan Savory's work, which Dan outlines here as a living systems approach to decision-making. I hope you enjoy this first of two parts of one who conversation, and if you're drawn to please do explore Dan's work more deeply via the links below.
