What I’ve learned about Viability This is part 2 of my series on the Viable System Model and school leadership — you can find part 1 here: Coherence. As with everything on this blog, this is as much about my own learning as it is about theory. A journey, not a manifesto. In my previous post, I introduced the idea of schools as complex systems, the leadership problem of creating coherence and proposed that the Viable System Model (VSM) is a way of making sense of the complexity that schools have to deal with when trying to achieve a coherent way of working. https://thecomplexschool.wordpress.com/2026/05/13/what-ive-learned-about-viability/
