Living together with uncertainty

Join us for a conversation on living together with uncertainty. It can be deeply unsettling when the ground beneath us keeps shifting. Perhaps it can be comforting to reach for certainty and knowing. However, could there be possibilities present in embracing and "listening" to uncertainty while recognising our interconnectedness? The session is an invitation for reflective practice where we play with stepping out of our knowing and embrace the “ecology of ideas” we can open for each other. There will be a short presentation followed by a space for reflective practice together.

“It is on the knife-edge of uncertainty that we come alive to our greatest power” – Joanna Macy.

This session will be led by Louise McCulloch, a systemic practitioner and PhD scholar based in Ireland working in community based research and evaluation, supported by Joan O'Donnell.

SCiO Ireland is part of Systems in Complex Organisation, a global community of systems practitioners who believe that traditional approaches to running organisations are no longer capable of dealing with the complexity and turbulence faced by organisations today and are responsible for many of the problems we see today. We believe that systemic approaches to designing and running organisations offer radically new and better alternatives.

SCiO has three main objectives:

• Developing practice in applying systems ideas to a range of organisational issues
• Disseminating the use of systems approaches in dealing with organisational issues
• Supporting practitioners in their professional practice

This session is designed specifically to support the development of a network of Irish or Irish-based systems practitioners, and curious souls. For everyone else, we have other events that may be of wider interest.
