How can we harness the cognitive, emotional, behavioral, and spiritual dimensions of systems thinking to catalyze change efforts?
While David’s book focuses on social change, systems thinking applies to problems in every sector and industry. David will present examples from his social change work, and will help us apply the model to the context of our work in business, non-profit or social change.
In this workshop, David Stroh will help us understand:
Why non-obvious system forces thwart people’s best intentions
The differences between systems and conventional thinking
The benefits of using systems thinking as both an analytic and strategic planning tool
How to make systems thinking accessible to the larger community
When to integrate systems thinking into a change initiative
