For those of you who have been following the research study about resilience in a project team, you know that CUSD 2009 was a case study for the application of complex adaptive systems theory and the panarchy model (Gunderson & Holling, 2002) to group development for an investigation into adaptation and creative destruction in human systems. A first draft of the research study results has been submitted for review by my dissertation chair. This part of the process poses specific challenges, as the findings may/may not have indicated patterns relevant to the research questions. In addition, the data may have provided a lot of information about important patterns and themes that were not the focus of the investigation and yet they are compelling. So, reporting the results requires discernment. What I can say is that the research provided rich data. Once the dissertation is accepted, I will be reporting results in an executive summary format, so stay tuned.
