Join us for an insightful presentation based on recent research into systems use in the public sector. We will delve into current use of systems thinking, setting out what we’ve learned about the where, when, what and how, in this fascinating and powerful area. We’ll explore practices, enablers and blockers identified, as well as different approaches across the public sector, which will allow us to reflect constructively on lessons and implications for our own practice.

This presentation will also set the stage for an open discussion on the enablers and obstacles to the broader adoption of systems thinking. We invite you to share your experiences, insights, and ideas on how we can collectively overcome challenges and unlock new opportunities.

Here are some questions to think about ahead of the discussion:

1. What barriers do you see in applying systems thinking in the public sector?
2. What opportunities do you see in applying systems thinking in the public sector?
