The SCiO International Community

Image
SCiO NL

SCiO (Systems and Complexity in Organisation) is an international community of systems practitioners who believe that traditional approaches to running organisations are no longer capable of dealing with the complexity and turbulence faced by organisations today and are responsible for many of the problems we see today. We believe that systemic approaches to designing and running organisations offer radically new and better alternatives, regardless of whether those organisations are in industry, commerce, public service or the voluntary sector, or are associated with public institutions active in those social spheres.

SCiO provides opportunities for practitioners to learn and develop new practice, to build relationships and networks. 

Currently there are groups active in the UK, Netherlands, Belgium, DACH (Germany, Austria, Switzerland), Spain, Ireland and Finland. Each group runs its own events and organises its own schedule - see the group pages or the events page for more details.

SCiO groups provide a mixture of presentations, site visits, workshops, discussions and networking. Many of these these meetings are online and you are welcome to attend any open event if you can understand the language used.

If you are interested in setting up a SCiO group in your country or region, please contact us.
