UNCORRECTED PROOF Embodied Pedagogies, the Arts and Reflexive Systems in Enactive Management Education Osvaldo García De la Cerda , Mary Ann Kernan , and Clive Holtham Abstract This chapter stems from the convergence of two independent efforts 1 to develop and research pedagogy which can prepare individuals to enact with 2 high responsibility and creativity in complex situations. The main design ques- 3 tions are: How does a human being cope with complexity and uncertainty to take 4 care, in different domains and contexts, of the human activity system for which 5 he/she is responsible? And what transformations to the traditional business educa- 6 tion programmes are necessary to meet this challenge? The shared long-term aim is to 7 change the traditional curriculum by expanding the boundaries of our understanding 8 of problem situations as a human activity in which technical matters intertwine with 9 belief, desires and emotions. 10 Our findings are drawn from a primarily qualitative study of the pedagogical 11 design and outcomes of the interdisciplinary Masters in Innovation, Creativity and 12 Leadership (MICL) launched at City, University of London in 2010. We focus on 13 the lived experience of the students, especially the first cohort to complete the final 14 module, Creativity and the Creative Industries (CCI); and relate our analysis to the 15 CLEHES process, a strategy of learning developed by García De la Cerda et al. 16 (2018). 17 Building on the work of Beer (1994), Maturana and Varela (1987) and Espejo 18 (1996), García and his collaborators configure CLEHES as a nurturing technology 19 to enhance enactive management which treats humans and organisations as activity 20 systems with six ontological dimensions: body (cuerpo in Spanish), language, 21 emotion, history, eros and silence (García De la Cerda and Saavedra Ulloa 2006; 22 García De la Cerda and Orellana Muermann 2008; García De la Cerda 2009; García 23 De la Cerda and Laulié Cerda 2010; García De la Cerda and Saavedra Ulloa 2016; 24 O.
