About the KOAN method

the KOAN method: Breakthrough Leadership for a Divided World confronts the failure of yesterday’s models of leading and organizing to solve today’s most pressing problems and makes the case for a new, and better, way.

In Zen Buddhism, a KOAN is a saying or mantra designed to demonstrate the inadequacy of logical reasoning for achieving enlightenment.

The KOAN concept is also a helpful framework for imagining new models for living and organizing in Kind, Open, Adaptive, Networks.

Rooted both in ancient wisdom, and cutting-edge research, the KOAN method  gives us an alternative model for evaluating and evolving how we come together as humans to solve the important issues facing our world today.

If you are ready to build a better way of leading and organizing, you are not alone, and there is a way.

Thanks for taking the first step.

Let’s go.
