Services Systems Thinking & Strategy
Systems Thinking & Strategy.
Many of the challenges our clients face sit within complex systems. We use applied systems thinking, systems mapping and social network analysis to help you see the bigger picture, understand how things connect, and find where change can have the greatest effect.
We use systems thinking where it adds genuine value — and we’re upfront when simpler methods will do the job better.
Our systems thinking & strategy services.
Each opens to show what's involved and, where we have one, an example project.
Systems Mapping
Making complexity visible — maps of how a system actually works, built with the people inside it, so you can see where to act.
- Causal loop & system maps
- Workshops that build shared understanding
- Identifying leverage points
- Maps that feed strategy and evaluation
Social Network Analysis
Measuring the relationships that make partnerships work — who’s connected, where collaboration flows, and how networks change over time.
- Partnership & network health measures
- Before-and-after collaboration analysis
- Clear network visualisations
- SNA training for your team
Strategic Planning for Complex Systems
Strategy for when cause and effect aren’t obvious — systems theories of change and planning processes that hold up in messy, multi-stakeholder contexts.
- Systems theories of change
- The System Effects methodology
- Stakeholder alignment across a sector
- Strategy that names its assumptions
