Why is change so hard? Culture change

…is often a “wicked” problem:

Requires addressing the whole system
Likely involves addressing multiple underlying structural elements
Requires more than one intervention – strategies that target a single issue are unlikely to be effective alone
Has multiple interconnected elements
One size doesn’t fit all – need to understand the contexts in which we’re working Ever feel like you’re playing whack-a-mole with a system at equilibrium?<br>
03
Where does systems thinking come in? Systems Thinking

…is an approach that encourages us to a take a more holistic or systemic view of how different factors relate to one another within a whole.


Encourages us to move away from a focus on individual events or simplistic cause and effect scenarios to focus on the bigger picture
Allows us to see multiple components in relationship at once
Can indicate inputs we may have missed
May make it easier to understand delays – or escalations - in the system
Can suggest points of leverage for interventions<br>
