Systems Thinking in Action: A Collaborative Approach to Complex Problems
Systems Thinking in Action: A Collaborative Approach to Complex Problems
How do we solve problems that feel too big, too messy, and too interconnected? From climate change to supply chain breakdowns, these “wicked problems” can’t be tackled in isolation.
In this webinar, Mita Broca will share how systems thinking unlocks new pathways to solutions. Drawing from her work on The Reclaimers Project in Johannesburg — where informal waste workers, households, and businesses came together to increase recycling rates — Mita will demonstrate how mapping a system reveals powerful leverage points for change.
