Systemic Design Group

Who are we?

The Systemic Design Group is an open, trans-disciplinary practice, founded in order to undertake the complex socio-technical issues we are facing. We seek to co-create community, connection and care for sustainable change. Local, inclusive and using simple language. Leveraging our curiosity, creativity as well as our vulnerabilities, we firmly believe that empathy and optimism are at the heart of effectively tackling the messes we are embedded in.

What is our focus?

We seek to make Systems Thinking more approachable and Design (Thinking) more impactful, to co-create clarity in complexity. We empower changemakers to surface their potential, wisdom, networks, and energy for driving systems change. We help define principles, co-create missions and visions as well as change paradigms.

What are our activities?

We help develop theories of change and help identify strategic interventions that leverage limited resources for the greatest impact. We facilitate holistic decision-making processes that help identify the forces maintaining the status quo, which are revealed through systems mapping, root cause analysis, Appreciative Inquiry, HCD research, network analysis, Impact-driven research & evaluation allowing for strategic planning and better decision making. We offer an engaging, interdisciplinary journey to collaboratively create a clear, actionable narrative for systems change to co-design innovative processes, create inclusive community engagement, build coalitions & networks as well as creative partnerships and collective impact initiatives.

Benefits include a stronger relationships between stakeholders, built on trust and mutual appreciation, towards a powerful, shared goal, as well as strategic action plans with broad buy-in and momentum for implementation through improved organizational culture to reflect values, stronger leaders at all levels of the organization, communication tools that support critical conversation necessary for making progress and conflict transformation, not just resolution, for deeper coalitions.

The International Federation for Systems Research (IFSR) is the peak body of the systems community. It is a virtual platform that convenes and facilitates the rich academic tradition not only but primarily of system sciences, cybernetics and complexity theory as a basis and the many vivid practices and applications set out to meet the challenges of the Anthropocene in the 21st century. – Be part of the whole!

    Systems Change starts here

     

    Meeting the complexity of the 21st century and the challenges of the Anthropocene makes system thinking inevitable.

    Systems Sciences and cybernetics comprise a holistic and integrated paradigm that overcomes the thinking which created the global challenges we are facing today. It allows for a different perception of the dynamics of the world and provides smarter and truly sustainable solutions.
    When the IFSR was founded 1981 it aspired to unite the world of systems sciences to meet the challenges of the 20th century, to learn from the catastrophise of the world wars, the conflicts of the cold war, and preparing to meet the daunting ecological threats being addressed in the report to the Club of Rome.

    Systems Sciences and cybernetics have always collaborated as a community spearheading new thinking, advancing not only sciences and theory but also technology and practice.
    Today the IFSR reaches far beyond pure academic institutions; it brings together all people who understood that new solutions need new thinking for a thrivable world.
