Systems perspective
A system isn’t just any old collection of things.
A system is an interconnected set of elements that is coherently organized in a way that
achieves something.
A system must consist of three kinds of things: elements, interconnections, and a function or
purpose.

Example. Tutor group
Elements = students
Interconnections = conversations / cases
Function = exploring a topic / understanding something

, • Simple system = baking cooking from a recipe → very easy / knowable
• Complicated system = making a new car → knowns and unknowns that you must test
for
• Complex system = nature / global food system / raising a child → adaptive /
outcomes are never the same
• Chaotic system = a crisis → completely new territory / unknowable’s

System thinker
Interested in the whole system not in the parts
Looking at the larger system and processes and networks to find embeddedness




Why do we need a systems perspective?
Sustainability and health problems are systemic

o Fossil fuel dependency
o Runaway global capitalist system
o Lack of human-nature connection

Look at these problems from multiple perspectives…
o Environmental problem?
o Economic problem?
o Political problem?
o Cultural problem?
o Empathetic problem?

Our privileged position brings responsibilities!
How do we take this responsibility?
o By minding the stories we tell
o Stories matter
o Stories materialize

,Stories about nature and risk
Fatalist perspective → survival of the fittest / we can’t do anything about it / why bother?
Hierarchists → manage the world by taking control
Individualist → take risks / self-centred / “I don’t comply”
Egalitarian → take control to protect society in a preventive way

Chaos:
o Lack of certainty
o Lack of logical linear progression
o Lack of order and pattern
o Lack of control
o Crisis
o Collapse of system
o Pessimism
o Doom and gloom

Complexity:
o New possibilities
o Non-linear change
o New patterns emerge
o Scenarios
o Chance
o Evolution of system
o Optimism
o Window of opportunity and hope

Emergent patterns / Trying to understand:
o Initial conditions
o Feedback loops
o Attractors (direction of change)
o Interdependencies
o Evolution / change
o New systems emerging

, Complex adaptive systems and sustainability

The Anthropocene
Humans have changed the way the world works. Now they must change the way they think
about it, too.




What is sustainability about?
We should change as a human species, but humans are competitive egoistic species. This
leads to an uncertain world with a precarious future. However, humans can care, become
creative, to share, to love, to cooperate.

Crisis = chance for (directing pathways) change


Basic Principle of EMERGENCE
1+1=3 → the whole is always more than the sum of its parts.


Diversity and connectivity are important in a system:
❖ Entropy (chaos) = increasing disorder within a system

❖ Resilience = the ability of a system to return to its original state after being disturbed

Closed systems (separate bowls of ingredients that do not mix)
Second law of thermodynamics → dissolution / entropy and then it ends.
Closed systems do not exist outside of laboratory settings.
