Systems Thinking through Causal Loop Diagrams
Details
Designers are increasingly tackling complex and wicked problem spaces to a point where the practice of systems thinking becomes felt, understood, appreciated or embraced.
Within the systems thinking toolbox, causal loop diagrams stands out as a popular, yet expressive tool to illustrate the circular and relational problem spaces we often deal with or operate within in design.
This month, we are fortunate to have Miguel Pantaleon and David Mercado talk to us about Causal Loop Diagrams and their systems thinking practice, Systemico.io.
We’ll learn how causal loop diagrams work, view some case studies, and dig into some aspects of its application with the usual informal-yet-intelligent discussions IxDA London-style.
Our speakers:
Miguel Pantaleon
Systems Thinking and business strategist practitioner at Ideas Infinitas (Madrid)
Since 2015 I have enabled organisations to improve their decision-making processes by developing a better appreciation of complexity and interdependency. I have worked in a wide range of complex problems like improving the mobility as a service (Maas) network in Madrid city, improving the performance of the master plan “ Donostia Lagunkoia” (Friendly San Sebastian) to tackle the aging problem in the city, developing a circular economy (ACCIONA) to extend the life of materials in infrastructures and buildings, or implementing an education and training program in Red Cross Spain.
After my experience as partner at Ideas Infinitas, I founded Systemico.io with David Mercado, a digital transformation consultancy based in London. We apply systems thinking principles and tools to make sense of the face-pace changes and exponential complexity that organisations face when they engage with digitalisation.
