Power+Systems - systems blindness and systems sight

Power+Systems - systems blindness and systems sight

Benjamin will present an overview of the Power+Systems approach, developed by Barry Oshry over more than fifty years of experiential work and analysis with people in real life situations. The work helps to create ‘systems sight’ and help people to see the consistent and predictable patterns driven by human responses to the conditions of organisations – and to give people the potential to choose something different. Ben will give an overview of the approach, its application, and uses. Benjamin will be arriving from Denver where he is helping to design and facilitate the Power+Systems conference 2014, and Australia where he is helping to launch RedQuadrant Australasia.
