argyll and bute cpp management committee meeting 24 march 2010
TRANSCRIPT
“Without changing our patterns of thought, we will not be able to solve the problems we created with our current patterns of thought.”
Einstein
Mechanistic Thinking
• ‘stepping up a gear’
• ‘driving change
• ‘levers’
• ‘changing direction’
• ‘machinery of government’
‘… [most policy makers] concentrate their time on policy analysis, leaving too little time for analysing impacts in other areas, developing implementation policies and reflecting on their experience and the results of previous policy decisions.’
Cabinet Office report ‘Why policy-making needs modernising’

5 key questions to help engage with a systemic approach:
1. How would my perspective change if I regarded this organisation/ agency/ department/ community as a complex adaptive system?
2. What approach would I adopt if I accepted that this system cannot be controlled nor its behaviour predicted?
3. What other perspectives are there on this issue and how can I understand them?
4. How can I learn what is most effective here? How would I know?
5. What relationships are key in moving forward and how can I nurture them?
"It is hard to learn how to improve any system, when you are fighting to optimise you own position in isolation, as most parties will tend to do.”
W Edwards Demming
