When I entered the world of funding and systems and complexity in 2013 by joining a charitable foundation in the newly created role of Director of Systems Change, the experience was daunting and overwhelming.
This is really insightful and reassuring. Systems change is messy, scary and exciting - with huge potential for good things to happen through a series of small shifts in thinking and working (and bad if we get it wrong - the law of unintended consequences comes to mind).
Beautifully written Alice. I particularly enjoy the idea of loving the problem. I found this blog to be a great reminder of "sensors" that one could track when doing systems coaching. Thank you for sharing your insights.

This post summarises that beautifully!
Very useful Alice.
Your text is wonderfully helpful and straightforward on a topic that’s hairy and pushes other writers into abstract language. Thank you!
