The Topic
We are confronted today with a wide range of difficult challenges.
Unlike many problems in the past that could be addressed with the logic of industrial, cause and effect thinking, today’s challenges are anchored in complexity, interdependence, and turbulence
Today’s challenges require a different kind of thinking: as Einstein reminded us, we cannot solve problems with the same kind of thinking that brought them about.
We have crossed the threshold of complexity that requires us to look at our challenges in new ways.
Systems thinking is one such approach because it is specifically addressed to the properties and forces that arise from complex interdependence.
It also recognizes the central role of the environment, or context, in understanding – the person in his/her context; the group or organization in its environment.
In this Eco-Leadership webinar, James Krantz, PhD will guide us to the system thinking paradigm and its foundations in the first instance, then address its potential role in bringing about more just, humane, and inclusive societies.
The Agenda
In the first half of the webinar, James will deliver the main seminar.
In the second half, we'll move into a reflection-application session:
- 'Composting': experienced peers work the material in small groups to sprout new ideas;
- 'Weaving': attendees gather to collectively reflect and question, weaving our experiences together;
- Discuss how we will apply learnings to our personal practice in Reflection Application Pairs (RAPs).
