Designing and Building Healthy Systems

Overview

The five day retreat is designed is to introduce participants to concepts, tools and frameworks for understanding and leading in complexity.

It is universally acknowledged that the world is increasingly fragmented, complex and uncertain. A messy world. Yet, amid this state of flux, many social scientists, engineers, academics, leading business executives and various professional leaders have developed deep knowledge and perspectives about how to understand and lead.

This retreat will use as a case study, how the Singapore Prison Service went about systematically to reduce its recidivism rates to one of the lowest in the world.  In so doing, it made significant contributions to the betterment of society.  This has lessons for all Prison Services where recidivism is a serious issue. 

The programme will look at the importance of reviewing and finding ‘purpose’ and its relevance to the current context.

The need is the compelling reason for doing anything. Sensing the need is the first step to designing a meeting, organizational structure or change initiative that is relevant.

Designing and Building Healthy Systems


Challenge Wicked Problems 

A five day retreat.

Purpose.

The purpose of this retreat is to introduce participants to concepts, tools and frameworks for understanding and leading in complexity. It will take participants into an immersive learning experience where concepts and tools are introduced progressively to help them develop self-awareness and personal mastery, to better understand organisation and systems complexity.

The big idea.

Do you need to review or change complex systems that are not delivering their desired outcomes?  It is universally acknowledged that the world is increasingly fragmented, complex and uncertain. A messy world. Yet, amid this state of flux, many social scientists, engineers, academics, leading business executives and various professional leaders have developed deep knowledge and perspectives about how to understand and lead.  

The case study.

This specific retreat will use as a case study, how the Singapore Prison Service went about systematically to reduce its recidivism rates to one of the lowest in the world.  In so doing, it made significant contributions to the betterment of society.  This has lessons for all Prison Services where recidivism is a serious issue. 
 

Retreat Focus

This retreat will use as a case study, how the Singapore Prison Service went about systematically to reduce its recidivism rates to one of the lowest in the world.  In so doing, it made significant contributions to the betterment of society.  This has lessons for all Prison Services where recidivism is a serious issue.  The efficacy of these tools and frameworks will be taught using the Singapore Prison Service case study. The case study is an excellent example of deep change brought about by one, and subsequently a group of leaders in the Singapore prison system that dramatically reduced recidivism over a period of eight years.

Is this you?

Leaders and senior executives seeking to address the complex challenges they face as they lead their organisations or communities to achieve better outcomes for people, planet and place. These challenges are often wicked messes, i.e. situations where multiple, interconnected problems converge, creating a system of challenges that are highly complex, dynamic, and resistant to resolution. Some examples of wicked messes include Climate Change, Healthcare Systems and Global Poverty.
