Topic: Seeing in Systems

This presentation is based on excerpts from my soon-to-be-published book by the same title. The presentation assumes knowledge of certain basics about systems including what a system is and is not. This includes knowledge about reinforcing and balancing loops, and delays. Principles of systems thinking are covered followed by discussions of the most common systems archetypes. Although causal loop diagrams are presented, the explanation is beyond the scope of this presentation. However, real life examples are given to help participants “see in systems”, thus taking Systems Thinking from academia or Business schools to the real world.

Seminar 3 – 17 September 2025 @18h00 (UTC +02:00)

Venue: Online

Topic: “Using Systems to Facilitate Change and Avoid Resistance”

A system is a group of elements that have all agreed to the same rules. For change to occur – change management, decision making, learning, habit change – the underlying system must be engaged. Too often we ignore systems and approach modification through behavior change, ending up with resistance as the underlying system thinks it’s at risk. This session will explain the systemic elements that must be included in all change, and the steps to accomplish resistance-free change.
