Miles<\/p>\n

Friday 17th<\/sup> March 2017, 14.00-17.00<\/p>\n

(Arrival\/registration\/tea and coffee from 13.30)<\/p>\n

CAN-Mezzanine 7-14 Great Dover Street, London, SE1 4YR<\/p>\n

Systems thinking is a powerful way of understanding the world, and accordingly, systems approaches can be powerful ways of addressing real-world problems. This half-day event is an opportunity to hear from people who are using systems approaches to address community and social issues, and to discuss the potential and the challenges of such approaches.<\/p>\n

Speakers include Gerald Midgley, Professor of Systems Thinking at Hull University Business School, talking about resolving stakeholder conflict in a range of community settings; Miles Weaver from Edinburgh Napier University on how systems approaches have helped identify better ways for communities and socially responsible businesses to build value; and Penny Lawrence, Deputy Director of Oxfam, on applying systems thinking to Oxfam\u2019s change programme.<\/p>\n

The event should be of interest to third sector managers interested in how systems thinking can be applied to their own challenges; to OR professionals interested in learning about different systems methodologies and their applications; and to anybody interested in how systems thinking can help us to drive change.<\/p>\n
