Systems Change: Insights and reflections for development practitioners
Overview
This paper explores systems thinking and systems change from the perspective of people actively working on addressing root-causes of problems in their specific fields. Following a brief overview of the basic tenets of the systems approach, the paper outlines the distilled insights drawn from interviews with 18 systems thinkers from diverse fields and countries. Their insights are supplemented by real-life stories of how they apply a systems approach to complex problems, and by recommendations of key resources that readers can adapt to their own work.
