Systems thinking approaches are gaining traction as an effective way of understanding and working with increasing complexity.

As the world has become increasingly interconnected, national or local boundaries cannot isolate and control social problems. The climate emergency, war and political instability have become everyday realities that accompany an ever-widening gap between those who have and control resources, and those who do not have enough to meet basic needs.

The purpose of this paper is to share some concepts informed by systems thinking to support leaders in their organisations to bring a systems-informed lens to their work.

This paper acts as a prompt to bring a complexity-informed approach to work practice. It also contains some pointers for further resources and tools that may support further learning.
