Complex Adaptive Systems

Practice resilience-based stewardship

Most often, the problems that you face in your system have many components. It can be hard to see with clarity when dealing with complexity

Strategic Planning

In a rapidly changing and disruptive world, it can be challenging to plan with confidence into the future. A systems thinking approach to strategic planning will:

  • Map the history and context of your system
  • Bring your stakeholders together to explore how you can better fulfill your purpose and deliver value for the people you serve
  • Generate where you want your system to be and how to get there
  • Build an understanding of the system interactions that will enable you to achieve your goals

Systems Thinking Training

To be leaderful in complexity requires building your leadership skills and toolkit. Our training program offers skill development in:

  • Leadership of complex systems
  • Aligned action and adaptive governance practices
  • Building resilience and adapting to change

Sector Consultation and Research

There are many times in our systems where we need to bring people together to understand what’s really going on, solve problems, and make change. We offer:

  • A facilitated systems approach to consultation that generates shared understanding and willingness within diverse stakeholders
  • A methodical and data driven research process that maps context and what people care about
