SYSTEMS CHANGE

Systems change means addressing the causes, rather than the symptoms, of a societal issue. 

POLICIES

The rules, regulations, and strategies that guide actions in various sectors and levels of government, business, and NFPs.

PRACTICES

The habits and actions of communities, networks, and nations operating collectively across society, as opposed to policies that guide them.

RESOURCE FLOWS

How money, people, knowledge, and other assets are allocated and distributed. 

RELATIONSHIPS & CONNECTIONS

The strength of connections and quality of communication among system players, including those with differing histories and viewpoints.

 

POWER DYNAMICS

The distribution of decision-making, authority, and formal and informal influence between and among individuals and organisations. 

 

MENTAL MODES

These are the habits of thought – deeply held beliefs and assumptions and ways of operating – that are taken for granted and influence how we all think and what we do.
