Our “System Shift” framework is designed to help you complete the activities needed to fully “see your system.” It has been developed, tested, and refined over decades and applies to any type of system.

At its core, is what we refer to as “a trajectory-based approach”. This approach establishes direction and a 'region of success’. Then, we start unpacking the activity needed to move along the trajectory.

The four sequential phases of map, role, engage, and design have considerable underlying detail and are method-agnostic. Each step involves several feedback loops, which inform and refine the approach as you progress. The available range of tools, methods, and practices in each step is considerable and are selected based on your needs, and the characteristics of the system you are working with.
