What new world do you think public services should be creating? https://www.linkedin.com/posts/antlerboy_government-productiveconversations-complexity-activity-7345700232241790995-SKgr?utm_source=share&utm_medium=member_desktop&rcm=ACoAAACuq-oBecVFDW6PCf3lkoG-peMeuLBeoho
I’m in Sheffield today, speaking at the #Government Systems Thinking Interest Group – a couple hundred civil servants trying to join up, make sense, reduce the risk of doing counterproductive things.
My topic is ‘Better conversations for better realities: learning loops to break the devil’s bargain’:
– the reality of the different worlds we inhabit – and the implications
– the reality of the devil’s bargain
– the way we can create new and better worlds we share through the consensual coordination of the consensual coordination of action
Should be fun! #ProductiveConversations

And – speaking of shaping systems for the better – I’m excited to officially launch our tailored Level 7 Apprenticeship:
Commissioning and Leading for Outcomes in #Complexity – Convening #SystemsChange
__
Built specifically for senior commissioners, transformation leads, and strategic leaders across public services, health, and local government, this programme translates deep systems theory directly into practical tools and real-world impact.
Built around core #systemsthinking and practice skills, key highlights include:
– the Commissioning Compass for holistic system assessment
– whole system #demandmanagement to shift real-world outcomes
– the Five Worlds
– measuring outcomes
– and action learning grounded in your own organisational challenges
Delivered in partnership with Cherith Simmons Learning and Development and SCiO – Systems and Complexity in Organisation, this two-year apprenticeship is fully levy-funded, offering Advanced Practitioner status and an optional fast-track MBA.
Spots are limited and the clock is ticking – register your interest now for Autumn 2025 – the last chance before levy funding is withdrawn. Link in image and below…
