About Us
taking experience seriously
Complexify is the home of the scholar practitioners who try to understand human interaction as complex responsive processes. We are interested in paying attention to relationships, group dynamics and history to increase our capacities to act. We work across the public and private sector in the UK and in Denmark as consultants and researchers.
How we found each other
We found each other through our involvement as students and faculty on the University of Hertfordshire's Doctor of Management Programme, directed by Chris Mowles since 2011.
Originally set up by Ralph Stacey, Doug Griffin and Patricia Shaw in the early 2000s, the programme is a group-based research degree leading to a masters or doctorate that draws on ideas from the complexity sciences, process sociology, group analytic theory and pragmatist philosophy.
