Engaging in Systems Change Workshop

Growing a global community of change agents is our best chance to accelerate a transition to a just and regenerative future. We have the ambition to serve the emerging field of systems change, as a vehicle for connecting and amplifying spheres of learning and practice, and as a case study of an initiative grown explicitly as a system change endeavour.

School of System Change

This half-day workshop facilitated by the School of System Change will cover what systems change is and what it means to work systemically.

Health inequities by their very nature are large, complex, and messy. We often approach them as singular and isolated issues, as opposed to interconnected and interdependent challenges. Those working to improve these conditions need to continuously build our capacity to look at and tackle complex challenges in a more holistic way, to recognize that these challenges do not have simple solutions, to be prepared to work with messiness &amp; uncertainty, and to transform systems to build a more equitable future.About the contentThe half-day session will introduce a few frameworks, tools, and concepts to help you understand what “systems change” is all about, when and why it’s valuable, and what this all might mean for how you approach your work. With input from peers working on health challenges in Missouri, you’ll have a chance to apply your learning and take an initial step in systems change work by ‘defining’ your systemic challenge - reflecting on and interrogating the boundaries and core purpose of your work.The session will also feature a case study from a real-world systems change practitioner, providing the opportunity to learn and ask questions about what systems change work looks like on the ground.This session is intended to help nonprofit organizations in the <a href="https://mffh.org/the-foundation/where-we-work/" title="https://mffh.org/the-foundation/where-we-work/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Missouri Foundation for Health (MFH) service region</a> improve their capacity to engage in systems thinking and change.
