An emergence network is an assemblage of mutually reinforcing nodes of agency—each with its own competencies and epistemologies—that uncovers novel collective capacities and capacities-in-the-making. Drawing on distributed leadership, creative iterative processes, and committed deep learning within and across networks, emergence networks generate emergent social forms and transforming results that are unpredictable, original and generative. As a holistic, adaptive, and demystified strategy for social change, emergence networks highlight the importance of embracing diverse ways of knowing and learning, particularly those that are often misunderstood, undervalued or overlooked.
