Things change when our thinking changes.
So why do so many organisations still rely on outdated mental models to tackle today’s complex challenges?
In this episode, From developing foundational theories like DSRP and VMCL, to shaping national education programmes and training leaders across sectors, we’re joined by two of the most influential figures in the systems thinking world
This conversation explores what it really means to think systemically—and why it matters now more than ever.
