What is the difference between systems thinking & design thinking?
Systems thinking zooms out: it's about understanding the interconnection of parts (relationships, structures, thinking, culture) within a larger whole.
Design thinking zooms in: it's about appreciating people's individual needs & combining them with what is technically feasible & economically viable to create new & better solutions.
We often create the best insights for change when we zoom in AND out, combining analytical, big-picture systems thinking with creative people-centered design thinking. A great resource from @ideo that explains this: https://t.co/X6g3gYSbQq

How to lead across a siloed organisation. Researchers studied senior leaders who are exceptional at cross-functional collaborative working. This is what sets these leaders apart. They:
1) put organisational/system goals above functional, team or personal goals
2) believe their role is to find expertise everywhere
3) seek to understand the motivations & constraints of those in other teams
4) find ways to win together
5) design with others right from the start, not ask them to "buy-in" to an existing solution
6) see relationship-building as core work
7) spend as much time leading across the organisation/system as they do with their own function

More than one in five girls aged 16 were in contact with NHS mental health services (including learning disabilities and autism services) in 2021-22. This is double the rate of the rate just four years earlier.

Look forward to this conversation on 9 May!! Join us!

[GivingForChange @GivingForChange]

During humanitarian crises, communities are usually the first responders, but traditional M&E doesn’t usually measure the work/success of first responders.
How do we start to measure what matters to communities? Join us 9th May https://t.co/y1cXB2EWGw for a conversation on this

[GlobalFundCF @globalfundcf]

Many systems don’t capture the complexity CSOs & communities have to deal with, so how communities measure success is often erased.

Join us on 9th May https://t.co/FglEJgeXbH for a conversation on how we can build an alternative M&E system that captures what matters to CSOs
