Systems Thinking for Human-AI Collaboration: Navigating Complexity through Reflective Practice and Quantum Perspectives
In this presentation, I set out to show how we might reframe the relationship between humans and artificial intelligence by using systems thinking and quantum-informed perspectives. Rather than treating AI as a standalone optimisation tool, I argued for a view of AI as a co-evolving partner within socio-technical systems. I drew on critical systems methods, rich pictures, and system dynamics...

The Process of Translating Systems Thinking into Real-World Platforms through Participatory System Dynamics Modelling
Translating Systems Thinking into practical, real-world applications can be challenging. How can we collaboratively create outcomes that are compelling enough to influence policy, or accessible enough for widespread adoption? What process can we follow to form systemic maps and transform these into actionable blueprints? In this session, Teun will guide us through the process of participatory...

What is System Dynamics?
System Dynamics provides an approach for modelling complex systems over time, by visualising their dynamic interrelationships to reveal feedback loops and non-linear effects. SD helps to identify how these relationships influence each other over time. SD has been extensively applied to complex, multi-agency situations, including climate change, economic restructuring, governance enhancement, and...

Quantifying strategy using system dynamics
System dynamics (SD) is an approach that enables the behaviour of complex systems to be better understood and simulated. SD has been extensively applied to studying and managing complex feedback systems, such as business and other social systems, over the last 50 years. SD models represent changes in system behaviour over time by using the analogy of flows accumulating and depleting over time in...
