Systems are all around us.  In fact, we cannot exist without systems.  Life itself is a system, a complex-adaptive system.  Systems exist at many levels and can range from simple to complex.  In order to affect system change, it is critical that we understand the dynamics and interdependencies of systems better because they often don’t behave as their stated purpose.  This workshop will introduce you to the fundamentals needed to understand systems and systems thinking as a process for transformation.  This is the second workshop in AdaptivePurpose’s Tools for Transformation series of workshops.  The workshop follows Systems Thinking for Transformation: an Introduction, however, that is not a prerequisite.  The workshop is geared towards change agents on the ground seeking to engage in systems change and analysis.  It is the prerequisite for AdaptivePurpose’s subsequent System Mapping workshops.
