For over twenty years, Plexus Institute has been at the forefront of exploring and applying complexity science to human and organizational systems. This work has led to the creation of innovative models, frameworks, and tools that continue to shape thinking and practice across a wide range of fields.
The Plexus archives provide a rich collection of resources tracing the evolution of this work—from foundational insights to groundbreaking applications. Notably, widely adopted approaches such as Adaptive Positive Deviance and Liberating Structures were developed within the Plexus community, reflecting our commitment to practical, complexity-informed innovation.
Plexus Institute also has a strong tradition of publishing and supporting work within its Network. Our published books, along with a curated list of recommended titles, highlight the breadth and depth of theory, practice, and creative application of complexity science in understanding and developing networks, systems, and organizations.
Plexus Institute’s archives document the transformative impact of complexity thinking and will hopefully remain available to inspire, inform, and support those who continue to navigate and apply complexity in their work. We are actively seeking a new organization or institution who will maintain the archives for free access. Please contact Denise Easton with any information on possible partnerships.
