Systemic evaluation in an uncertain world

Speaker(s)
Evaluation is… "a way of thinking (and acting) that will not only aid your effectiveness, but also improve your capacity to make good decisions in your ordinary life" (based on Wadsworth, 2011). Why bother about 'evaluation'? Many of us are familiar with......

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.

SCiO is an International Community

If you are interested in setting up a SCiO group in your country or region, please contact us.

10 Years of Systems Thinking Practice: Learnings from the Struggle

Ten years ago, I embarked on a mission to help people tackle complex challenges by synthesising them into maps. Over time, I mastered the technique and further developed it. However, only a few of the hundreds of people I worked with developed a deeper interest in improving their understanding of Systems Thinking principles, tools, and methodologies. I would like to share my reflections on my...

Perceptual Control Theory - an 'inside-out' approach to systems thinking

This presentation introduces Perceptual Control Theory (PCT) as an 'inside-out' approach to systems thinking, offering a unique perspective for practitioners in the field. PCT posits that control is an internal process, emphasizing the control of perception rather than behaviour. This distinction sets PCT apart from many traditional systems thinking approaches. The talk will elucidate key PCT...

Self-organising beings: the art and practice of embodied wisdom

We are by nature complex self-organising beings, situated within a universe organised in the same way. This has profound implications for how we could potentially organise society, our organisations, and our lives. Systemic practice calls us to attend not just to the systems out there, but also to ourselves, so we can effectively leverage our embodied wisdom towards desired change. This session...

Exploring a multi-agency system - requisite variety, complexity, systems laws and a bit of a whack

Multiple Disadvantage is a systemic issue - yet the prevailing narrative can be one of individual choice. Multiple disadvantage is also almost an exclusively multi-agency issue. Combine this perceptual and structural complexity and it becomes a little bit tricky to try and sort out. Here we take a heavy dose of requisite variety, add some complexity balancing, blend in some [other] systems laws...

Exploring Systems Thinking practices for transformative change

Systems thinking offers a complementary way of working with complexity through a different lens. It taps into our intuitive knowing that all things and beings are interconnected and inter-dependent. The practice of systems thinking lies in understanding patterns between phenomena rather than breaking issues down into constituent parts, in the knowledge that the definition of a problem determines...
