Systems Solutions |

| Lots of
information exists about global problems, much less about systems
thinking, but very little is devoted to uncovering effective
systemic solutions to the world's most troubling problems. One
reason is that most who study such problems focus on one or a few
issues (which is how they become experts), rarely have but a cursory
understanding of systems theory, and are most often overly focused
on solving the problems for which they know the most about. Another
reason, is that most of the leaders in political power that interact
with global problems on a regular basis are ill-trained in science,
know even less about systems thinking, and yet are making critical
decisions that continue to shape how such problems unfold over time.
A central mission of the Center is to promote systems thinking, and
develop a framework that can be used broadly to better understand
how global problems relate to one another, and identify ways in
which they may be solved systemically. In the end, systems solutions
are people solutions, and they require collaboration, respect for
one another, and trust among many stakeholders. |
