As Dana Meadows said, a system is “an interconnected set of elements that is coherently organized in a way that achieves something.”
So, this naturally prompts a few questions…
How do these "elements" become an "interconnected set" vs. simply present in the same domain or relative to the same issue?
Once connected, how do they become "coherently organized" so they can actually address what they most care about?
And, what is that "something" they're individually and collectively seeking to "achieve" - in actionable terms?
These questions have been explored and answered in dozens of systems change projects over the last 25 years, including aligning the Guerrillas and the Military in Guatemala, restoring the Fisheries in the Great Lakes, and pivoting a $30B legacy tech company confronting Google and Amazon, along with instances of each of the 17 SDGs.
In this conversation, we'll explore the six emergent levels for creating the Relationship and Clarity needed to awaken six essential systems change agent capabilities on the path to systems change.
More about Scott:
Scott has discovered an emergent systems change methodology that has consistently solved problems his clients call "impossible." He's done so in projects like: aligning the Guerrillas & the Military in Guatemala (along with 30 other key stakeholders); sustainably managing 250MM acres of Southern U.S. Forest; pivoting a $30B legacy tech company confronted by Google & Amazon; along with solving for instances of each of the 17 SDGs - and more.
