Mapping Your System: How to Navigate Power, People & Change in Uncertain Times
Map the invisible relationships, dynamics, and power arrangements that reliably shape your system’s behavior — and pinpoint where meaningful intervention is actually possible.
2025 forced us all to confront what has always been true: uncertainty is unavoidable.Political volatility, climate disruption, and technological change all point in the same direction: ongoing change.
And yet… most organizations still plan as if the world is stable and predictable. We cling to if-then logic, rigid theories of change, fixed goals, linear planning cycles, tidy KPIs, and post-hoc “impact” assessments — all built on an assumption of control that simply doesn’t exist.
So how do you lead strategically inside a system that refuses to hold still?
This intensive, live 2-hour workshop is a deep conceptual reset.
You’ll move beyond linear cause-and-effect thinking and step into a complex-systems mindset where you sense, adapt, and steward change instead of trying to control it.
You’ll learn to map the invisible relationships, dynamics, and power arrangements that reliably shape your system’s behavior — and pinpoint where meaningful intervention is actually possible.You will learn to work with three foundational system lenses:
-
Power & Narratives — Identify the dominant frames, stories, and assumptions defining the problem, and surface the marginalized perspectives your system currently can’t hear.
-
People & Boundaries — Examine the boundaries that create blind spots, and understand how positionality gives every actor a partial view of the system.
-
Flows & Dynamics — Trace the relationships, feedback loops, and information flows that quietly govern your system’s trajectory — and learn how to shape them.You’ll walk away with a practical diagnostic map of your system’s current dynamics, a felt sense of how to release the illusion of control, and a clear view of how to intervene for meaningful, durable change.
