The document provides an introduction to systems thinking. It discusses how systems thinking views complex situations holistically rather than focusing on individual parts. A system is defined as consisting of interconnected elements that interact to serve a common purpose. In contrast, a collection lacks interactions between parts. The document outlines why systems thinking is needed to address today's complex and dynamic issues, and gives examples of applying systems thinking in various fields like business, health, and education.
A system is a network of interdependent components that work together to try to accomplish the aim of the system. A system must have an aim. Without an aim, there is no system. The aim of the system must be clear to everyone in the system.
But what does it all mean really and how does it apply to our businesses? What does it take to have a systems thinking or holistic view and approach?
In this presentation, we'll take a look at systems thinking, how we can get into this mindset and how it is used in the real world. With some interactive exercises, historical and present examples we hope this session will leave you with an understanding of systems thinking and its many benefits.
Systems thinking is perhaps one of the most critical tools in handling the complexity in coping challenges we are facing now and in the coming decades. This is a brief introduction to the basic concepts in System Thinking. It is defined and organized in a way that can provide those basics for every audience. I hope you find it helpful!

In this presentation you will learn about design tools and techniques to solve wicked problems, using Systems Thinking.
Systems Thinking looks at the whole of a system rather than focusing on its individual parts, to better understand complex phenomena. Systems Thinking contrasts with analytic thinking: you solve problems by going deeper, by looking at the greater whole of a system and the relations between its elements, rather than solving individual problems in a linear way via simple cause and effect explanations.
You can apply Systems Thinking principles in different situations: to understand how large organisations function and design for the enterprise (e.g. when you are trying to revamp a large intranet), but also to solve social problems and issues (e.g. unemployment with disadvantaged youth or mobility in larger cities). So basically whenever there is complexity and conflict (of interest) in your project, Systems Thinking will be helpful.
After an introduction to Systems Thinking and its core concepts, we will first explain and practice a few techniques that you as a designer can apply to better understand complex systems, for example creating a System Map and drawing Connection Circles. In the second part of the workshop, we will introduce techniques that help you shape solutions, for example using Paradoxical Thinking for ideation and writing ‘What-if’ Scenarios.

From 27-29 October 2014, WLE, in cooperation with the CGIAR Systemwide Program on Collective Action and Property Rights (CAPRI) and the CGIAR Research Program on Forests, Trees, and Agroforestry (FTA), held a workshop on Institutions for Ecosystems Services in Washington DC.
The goals of the workshop were to:
-Encourage sharing and discussion on research methods and tools to study the links between institutions and ecosystem services
-Synthesize lessons about institutional arrangements needed to ensure that ecosystem services projects are able to deliver benefits to local resource users and produce local, regional, and national global environmental benefits
-Identify policies and program interventions that can strengthen these institutions
-Outline priorities for future research, policy, and project implementation, particularly of relevance for PIM, WLE, and FTA programs
Title: Introduction to Environmental Science
Description:
This presentation for the introduction to environmental science is designed to provide students with a basic understanding of the subject. It begins with an overview of environmental science, which is defined as the interdisciplinary study of the natural world and the impact of human activities on it. This is followed by a description of the various fields encompassed by environmental science, including biology, geology, chemistry, physics, ecology, economics, sociology, and political science.
The scientific method and its relevance to environmental science are explained in the next slide. The scientific method is a systematic approach to investigating phenomena in the natural world, and it involves making observations, asking questions, formulating hypotheses, conducting experiments or gathering data, analyzing the results, and drawing conclusions. Environmental scientists use the scientific method to study environmental phenomena, such as pollution, climate change, and conservation strategies.
Followed by the concept of systems thinking as a way of understanding the world as interconnected systems, rather than as isolated parts. In environmental science, ecosystems are seen as complex networks of living and non-living components that interact with each other and with the environment. Systems thinking helps to identify the connections and impacts of human activities on the environment, leading to more effective solutions.
Another slide focuses on the practical applications of environmental science in various fields, such as conservation biology, environmental policy, sustainable agriculture, renewable energy, pollution control, and climate change mitigation and adaptation. These applications have the potential to create a more sustainable and equitable future for all.
In conclusion, the presentation on the introduction to environmental science aims to provide students with a broad understanding of the subject, its relevance, and its potential applications. It emphasizes the importance of scientific methods, systems thinking, and interdisciplinary collaboration in studying and solving environmental challenges.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
