SYSTEMS CHANGE BOOTCAMP
26-27 FEB 2024 / THE SILL, HEXHAM / FAST FOLLOWERS
Barriers to net zero can be complex, interconnected, and unfamiliar.
A two-day bootcamp will equip Fast Followers with skills to better deal with this complexity.
You will learn how to diagnose, navigate and overcome non-technical barriers. This includes tools that will help you to innovate towards net zero goals and make timely strategic decisions.
A core focus will be how to embrace complexity to achieve your net zero goals. This will consider how to work across stakeholders, take action at multiple levels, and deliver at different scales.
You will also explore how to navigate power dynamics and find ways to shift both individual and shared mindsets.
The bootcamp will create a safe and supportive environment for you to explore these systems and better understand your role as an agent of change.
Forum for the Future will deliver the bootcamp, drawing on proven tools and a wealth of experience from its School of System Change.
The bootcamp takes place at The Sill in the wonderful environment of Northumberland National Park and Hadrian’s Wall World Heritage Site.
A bespoke format and approach has been designed for Future Ready based on responses to the baseline survey. These learning priorities have been matched with multi-method tools and frameworks. This includes:
- Understanding systems change as a process and outcome. How do we start with communities to achieve net zero?
- Surfacing worldviews. How does the world work?
- Nested systems. How are systems connected and related? How might this thinking influence and shape the design of net zero programmes and projects within places?
- Critical capabilities for systems change. What elements of systems change provides implications on leadership styles?
- Define – Decide – Deliver. How to learn and adapt to prototyping and experimenting for change.
All of the sessions within the bootcamp will be highly creative, experiential and people-centred. There will be a mix of expert contributor input, group work and space for individual reflection and learning.
