Systems thinking in organizational transformation

“Systems thinking is about taking in a much larger thing i.e. a system and trying to understand how various inputs or levers on the system impact the system as a whole. Systems are really fascinating due to a variety of reasons but my favourite part of them is the emergence that happens. When the sum is greater than the parts. This is why systems thinking must take into account the whole system. Drilling down to just the parts, ala the classic scientific method approach, can miss the emergent aspect of said system.”

As a closing event of the year, we are wandering onto high seas with Sandor Hibsch. We will be looking at why it matters that (as Russell Ackoff put it) a system is not defined as a sum of its parts, but rather as the product of the interactions of those parts. We will explore together how events happening on the surface will be the result of systemic structures and mental models that create those structures. Hopefully, with your help, we will discover how we can use that knowledge to bring about true change in the organization.

Why would you come?
To get introduced to a different world of mental tools - what you would be able to use as an agilists, when looking at an organisation.
