Systems Lessons of the Global Problematique: Valuing Connection
Today, greenhouse gas emissions are rising again while questions about how to spur economic growth continue. I wonder, are we missing the connection? Might a move away from reduction help us to understand our shared options?

World Hypotheses
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

World Hypotheses: A Study in Evidence, by Stephen C. Pepper (1942), presents four relatively adequate world hypotheses (or world views or conceptual systems) in terms of their root metaphors: formism (similarity), mechanism (machine), contextualism (historical act), and organicism (living system).
In World Hypotheses, Pepper demonstrates the error of logical positivism, that there is no such thing as data free from interpretation, and that root metaphors are necessary in epistemology. In other words, objectivity is a myth because there is no such thing as pure, objective fact. Consequently, an analysis is necessary to understand how to interpret these ‘facts.’ Pepper does so by developing the “[root metaphor method, …] and outlines what he considers to be four basically adequate world hypotheses (world views or conceptual systems): formism, mechanism, contextualism, and organicism.” He identifies the strengths and weaknesses of each of the world hypotheses as well as the paradoxical and sometimes mystifying effects of the effort to synthesize them.[1]

Beyond Systems Thinking | edX
Beyond Systems ThinkingTo deal with the current global polycrisis, we need cultural and mental transformation. This MOOC is the second of four MOOCs that hybridize science, design and transformative praxis. This joint learning journey is a fluid, intervention-driven, synergistic process addressing complex challenges with regional focus. It entails a critical look at systems thinking, tools to view complexity from above, basics of social network analysis, resilience assessment, circularities, and systemic innovation.

Some thoughts on systems coaching – by Alice Evans
Some thoughts on systems coaching

When I entered the world of funding and systems and complexity in 2013 by joining a charitable foundation in the newly created role of Director of Systems Change, the experience was daunting and overwhelming. The job title was confusing, expectations were high, and no one – let alone the new director – knew where to begin. But the experience was also delightfully humbling and enabled me to learn from and become inspired by a wonderful array of systems thinkers, coaches, and other wonderful folk.

A Systemic Recovery | New Approaches to Economic Challenges | OECD iLibrary (free to read online)
A Systemic RecoveryNew economic thinking and acting through a systemic approach could outline policy alternatives to tackle the global-scale systemic challenges of financial, economic, social and environmental emergencies, and help steer our recovery out of the current crisis. A systemic recovery requires an economic approach that balances several factors – markets and states, efficiency and resilience, growth and sustainability, national and global stability, short-term emergency measures and long-term structural change. To achieve this, we need to think beyond our policy silos, comprehend our interconnections, and build resilience into our systems.Less26 Oct 2022 127 pages Englishhttps://doi.org/10.1787/62830370-en 9789264690684 (EPUB) 9789264962859 (PDF) 9789264654563 (HTML)Author(s): OECD Editors: William Hynes, Igor Linkov and Patrick Love

Systems Change Finland – and Converge & Emerge 2, 24 November 2022
Not the first time I’ve posted this, but by way of tribute to this excellent group (and particularly Mikael Seppala), since I’ve just plucked up the courage to dive back into their Slack after several weeks away and the next… 20 or so… posts will be from that direction (particularly Mikael). Open to members outside Finland, highly recommended.
Also recommended, their event https://www.systemschange.fi/openspace/ – which is Converge & Emerge 2, 24 November 2022 (despite the fact that the 2021 event is showing up on the image below for me) – take a look.
