Opening the box: systems thinking for transformative conversations

Session outline: 

This event focuses on learning and communication of systems thinking for practitioners, decision-makers and executives, and the essay in the booklet 'Opening the box’, created by SCiO. The team worked on an initiative to explore how we communicate systems thinking, its benefits and impact, so the session explores the message behind their essay.

'Opening the box' invites you to delve into the realms of systems thinking, by exploring four layers of ‘systems’: parts and wholes, nascent development, coherence, and metamorphosis. This is for those who may not believe that they use systems thinking, but already consider relationships and connections in situations, those who wish to learn who are seeking a place to start, or those already practicing systems thinking looking for a different ‘take’ on the discipline.
