Approaching organizations as ecosystems and sub-systems, Joan describes the key elements of the ecosystem to focus on in order to guide the change to success. Why We Have Systems. Why do we maintain systems?
Particularly in this era of always-on, inter-connected and infinitely available information, what’s the point of trying to maintain information on our own, for our own personal use and reference? It’s an interesting question, and some people have decided to ask and answer with, “I don’t need to.” Uncharted Territories by Tomas Pueyo. The Entropy of Systems. A dear friend of mine has a favourite saying from Henry Adams: “Chaos was the law of nature.
Order was the dream of man.” It’s a great quote, and quite telling. Our quest for organization and structure is a Sisyphean uphill quest against the relentless forces of nature that are determined to drag us back down. I’m in large part living this reality right now. I’ve been striving to get organized—although, to put not-too-fine-a-point on it, I’ve been striving for organization for thirty-plus years, with fleeting and varied success.

Stewardship: A New Employment Covenant. The latest casualty of the changes sweeping through corporate America is the lifetime employment contract — the implicit agreement that provided employees with economic security in exchange for doing whatever work was necessary to keep the enterprise running.
According to Fortune magazine, the new employment deal goes something like this: “There will never be job security. You will be employed by us as long as you add value to the organization, and you are continuously responsible for finding ways to add value. Practical guide to workforce ecosystems. At the same time, most workforce-related practices, systems, and processes focus on employees, not external contributors.
Workforce planning, talent acquisition, performance management, and compensation policies, for example, all tend to focus on full-time (and sometimes part-time) employees. Consequently, organizations often lack an integrated approach to managing a workforce in which external workers play a large role. As one of the executives we interviewed for this report told us, “Wouldn’t it make sense to become just as mature about managing this segment of the workforce, which can be even bigger than your payroll workers?” A Framework for Working in Ecosystems. Practical guide to workforce ecosystems. How Do You Manage a Business Ecosystem? The framework covers the five main building blocks that must be used in managing a business ecosystem: Mission: What are the common purpose and culture that guide and align the stakeholders of the ecosystem?
Access: Who is allowed to enter the ecosystem, and what level of commitment in terms of exclusiveness and/or specific co-investment is required? Participation: How are decision rights distributed among ecosystem stakeholders, how transparent are the governance model and strategic roadmap, and how are conflicts resolved? Conduct: How is the behavior of ecosystem stakeholders regulated by controlling the input they provide, the process they need to follow, and the output they generate? A New Path to Understanding Systems Thinking. Many readers will recognize this scenario: A group in your department is planning a highly complex project, but the conversations you’re hearing about it center only on immediate, individual interests and the need for short-term deliverables.
A week later, the project comes to a halt because the team discovers that the initiative is negatively affecting another department. Conflict and blame ensue. Just like the rest of the world, functions within our organizations are increasingly interconnected and interdependent. Complex situations requiring a systemic approach are much more common than in the past. Nonetheless, many leaders and managers regularly use linear thinking, with its sequential, short-term focus on individual parts, which not only creates more complications, but also frustrates those of us who seem to “naturally” use systems thinking.

Complex systems science allows us to see new paths forward. We’re at a unique moment in the 200,000 years or so that Homo sapiens have walked the Earth. For the first time in that long history, humans are capable of coordinating on a global scale, using fine-grained data on individual behaviour, to design robust and adaptable social systems. The pandemic of 2019-20 has brought home this potential. Never before has there been a collective, empirically informed response of the magnitude that COVID-19 has demanded. Yes, the response has been ambivalent, uneven and chaotic – we are fumbling in low light, but it’s the low light of dawn.
Five Horizons of Systems Mastery. What does it take to become a rounded systems practitioner? In common parlance ‘systems thinking’ is understood as ‘thinking in systems’ (as the title of Donella Meadows’ posthumously published, widely read book suggests). It relies on systems concepts — such as stocks, flows, feedback loops, network and hierarchy — to structure the problem solving process in relation to particular design challenges.
‘Systems practice’ goes beyond that. It is ‘systems thinking and doing’, or ‘system praxis’. Videos from INTERSECTION20 - The great Summit 10-14 November 2020.

A systems thinking model: the iceberg model. Systems thinking is a way of approaching problems that asks how various elements within a system — which could be an ecosystem, an organization, or something more dispersed such as a supply chain — influence one another.
Rather than reacting to individual problems that arise, a systems thinker will ask about relationships to other activities within the system, look for patterns over time, and seek root causes. One systems thinking model that is helpful for understanding global issues is the iceberg model. We know that an iceberg has only 10 percent of its total mass above the water while 90 percent is underwater.
But that 90 percent is what the ocean currents act on, and what creates the iceberg’s behavior at its tip. Réflexions et repères à propos du changement systémique en entreprise, basé sur les stratégies types 1 et 2 de l’École de Palo Alto. J’ai décidé de publier une série d’articles portant sur des stratégies systémiques globales et ponctuelles. Elles illustrent des actions pour modifier des relations au sein de systèmes afin d’aider des acteurs à s’engager dans une dynamique de changement.

When Collective Impact has an Impact: A Cross-Site Study of 25 Collective Impact Initiatives. The research study “When Collective Impact Has an Impact: A Cross-Site Study of 25 Collective Impact Initiatives,” conducted by a research team from the organizations ORS Impact and the Spark Policy Institute, looks at the question of “To what extent and under what conditions does the collective impact approach contribute to systems and population changes?” To explore these questions, the research team studied 25 sites and has generated a rich set of findings that we hope will be useful for the field of collective impact practitioners, community members, funders, researchers, and evaluators.
The research team looked at how the collective impact approach contributed to each initiative’s ability to achieve systems changes to population changes, including: The Six Conditions of Systems Change (On demand webinar) What Gives Life to Large System Change? by Sandra Waddock and Petra Kuenkel (2019) Sociocracy.
