The ‘system’ is one of the most important concepts and realities underpinning our contemporary 21st century world. Increasing complexities and interdependencies across engineered systems create both greater fragility and resilience for networked lives, while we continue to grapple with the sociological and ecological implications of these technological deployments.
This one-day learning experience offers participants a chance to learn new perspectives and approaches for solving difficult and persistent systemic challenges. Participants will learn and apply cybernetic tools to illuminate a system, its dynamics and trajectories, and begin to unfold possibilities for effective intervention. This learning experience aims to demonstrate the practical application of cybernetic principles for participants to integrate the presented toolkit into their practice to begin transforming complex systems.
