Systems
Peter Senge spoke on systems thinking at an event linked to my Chair in Sustainable Transformation at AMS. Senge has always been one of my favourite thought-leaders and he did not disappoint. Here are three takeaways on making systems thinking work in practice: 1. Make it visible (most of us don’t know where our food, clothing, gadgets or energy come from); 2. Make it human (put names and faces to the next generations that will benefit or be harmed by our actions today); and 3. Make it collaborative (no system is ever changed without long-term, multi-stakeholder partnerships).
