“Systems thinking is important because it provides insights into how people make decisions in complex, uncertain situations that don't have clear solutions, especially when these situations are influenced by cultural, moral, and interpersonal factors.”
This quote reasonably describes some aspects of systems thinking. And yet, it’s not entirely true. The real quote is exactly the same, but starts as: “Studying wisdom is important because …” -Dr. Igor Grossmann (source)
It’s this natural overlap - between systems thinking and wisdom - that we’ll explore in this session. We’re honoured to have Dr. Igor Grossmann join us in-person for this session, along with co-discussant Zaid Khan. Together, we'll explore the connection points between wisdom and systems thinking along with a variety of related concepts, such as: intellectual humility, contextual thinking, openness, wholeness, integration of knowledge, critical thinking, ethics, reflective practices, etc.
This is an opportunity for systems thinkers and systemic designers to explore ways to better cultivate wisdom in our practices.
