Systems Strategy
Understanding and shifting complex systems requires more than quick fixes. Our approach to systems strategy help organisations see, understand, and think about what’s involved and what’s needed. We use applied systems thinking ('systems practice') and systems mapping to visualise complex systems. This helps organisations find and define challenges or needs, and identify what can and should change. Our approach emphasises collaboration and shared ownership, underpinned by capability building with clients and community.
