Towards (knowledge-generation) strategies for navigating complex change: a cross-sectoral perspective

Sara Wolcott
Future Health Systems and STEPS Centre Researcher

Given the current context of rapid change, multiple crises and increasing complexity, how can and are institutions developing to actively navigate pathways for workable and equitable societal transformations? What are the research strategies necessary for enabling this to occur?

Future Health Systems has been increasingly looking towards complexity sciences – including resilience, transition management, network sciences and adaptive governance – to find generative approaches to understand and navigate increasingly complexity, unintended outcomes and diversity in health systems undergoing regime change. This seminar presents research findings on how other sectors are managing similar challenges and incorporating complexity sciences into their strategy. This includes high reliability managers, socio-ecological systems, the private sector, planning and public policy. It proposes an initial research strategy.

The seminar is an opportunity to seriously discuss research strategies for the emerging networked institutions dealing with complex change and enabling and opening desired pathways for greater human security and well being.

All are welcome to attend.
