SYSTEMS
Every organization is a complex system. In order to turn an organization into an adaptive ecosystem that can withstand external shocks and anticipate changes flexibly it is essential to be able to observe the entirety of the system and find the right levels of intervention. By changing elements in a system and creating feedback-loops this system can evolve and be ready for future events. This practice is designed to show you how this works and how systems thinking plays a pivotal role in being futures ready. You will map the system that you and your team are part of and will work to find the smallest leverage point that could impact it fundamentally. This systematic way of thinking is unique in our futures ready approach and lets you see that the most impactful changes emerge bottom-up.

YOU WILL LEARN TO:
- Observe, experience and analyze systems
- Distinguish between different organizational structures
- Find leverage points to intervene in a system
- Establish feedback-loops to amplify your interventions
