Why Practice Systems Thinking?

The world around us is full of complexity, from the environment, to our workplaces to our own bodies. Systems thinking equips you with a framework to understand these complexities and navigate them more effectively. 

Systems thinking helps you tackle complex problematic situations: Many situations we face have interconnected causes and effects. By seeing the bigger picture and the relationships within a situation, you can identify patterns, causal mechanisms, structures, power, and dynamics. This allows you to design changes that address the system as a whole, rather than just treating symptoms.

Beyond Sustainability: Why Regenerative Governance is a Developmental Challenge

Many organizations have embraced sustainability frameworks, circular economy principles, ESG reporting and stakeholder engagement. Yet despite these advances, leaders often experience a persistent gap between improved sustainability performance and the organization's ability to continually adapt, innovate and regenerate.

Internalisierte Verbindlichkeiten - gegenwärtig aber unsichtbar

Internalisierte Verbindlichkeiten entstehen, wenn keine Rückstellungen für zukünftige Verpflichtungen einer Organisation gebildet werden dürfen. Sie sind "gegenwärtig" und eine gute Erklärung für Reibungsverluste und Transformationsprobleme von Organisationen - aber "unsichtbar" in gängigen Bilanzen und nur mit Verspätung in den Kosten erkennbar. Der Vortrag stellt deshalb eine minimale, aber...

From Complexity Theory to Interaction Design: Designing for Emergence with Liberating Structures

How do we design interactions that invite emergence instead of trying to control outcomes? This interactive workshop explores one possible answer: viewing Liberating Structures not simply as facilitation techniques, but as a practical vocabulary for designing interactions by creating enabling rather than controlling constraints. Through experiencing and reflecting on a selection of Liberating...

System Dynamics (SD)

In this session you will build with a friend a working system dynamics of a real-world issue — policing strategy to reduce a rising crime rate. You will get to keep your model, and the app you will use to do it is free for building any other models you want. You will need either a laptop, or a friend with a laptop. We will set up how a crime rate is growing and how we would like it to decline; see...
