Systems thinking and practice

The “Escuela Latinoamericana de Pensamiento y Diseño Sistémico”-ELAPDIS (“Latin American School of Systems Thinking and Design”) invited me to gave three lectures at their third annual international conference, which was held in Huancayo, Peru in November 2011. The themes covered were the origin and evolution of systems thinking, and particularly the Social Systems Science approach developed at the University of Pennsylvania; the application of systems thinking to strategic planning and management; and the use of systems thinking in the Agenda: PERÚ program on democratic governance, institutional reforms and development strategies. For the first lecture presentation (in Spanish) here.
