Intensive 'Systemic Canvas: navigating complexity in organisations'

The Systemic Canvas developed by Noemi Viedma Ponce is a fantastic methodology that on the one hand makes the undercurrent wisdom visible and at the same time can easily be applied 'at the surface' of your business, project, organisation where reason, analysis and action are at stake.

Navigating complexity in organizations

Certain elements within a business or team wield a considerable influence over their level of success. Identifying these elements, leveraging them to your benefit, and consequently establishing more effective and wholesome systems can enhance the well-being of individuals working within the business or team.

In every company, project or team there exists both an evident outward flow and a concealed underlying force. Imagine an iceberg to grasp this concept. The visible surface current is apparent and perceptible, easily discerned through your senses. Simultaneously, there exists another dimension, akin to the iceberg's submerged portion - the undercurrent. Much of what occurs in this undercurrent transpires at a subconscious level, remaining unseen, yet its impacts are palpable and can be sensed.

We have many beautiful and useful tools and models of management science to tackle the visible surface. One of the most well-known and useful ones is the Business Model Canvas of Alex Osterwalder.

Business Model Canvas

Osterwalder's Business Model Canvas is a structured way to describe all elements of a company, production or team at top level. Zooming in on what you see, what you can measure. It is an international standard with important analytical information. Perhaps you work with it, or have worked with it in your own company or that of your clients. And if you don't know it yet, click here for an introduction to the Business Model Canvas.

The undercurrent: invisible structure for flow

But what happens in the undercurrent of your organisation, team or project takes place at the unconscious level, beyond the senses, beyond the visible. Invisible, but tangible and sensible.

Unfortunately, there is no simple tool to tackle the force of the undercurrent in business and teams. Yet the need for tools that expose the deeper, underlying dynamics and give insight in what relevant factors are needed to take into account, is big.

Like in the example of the iceberg, the visible surface and the undercurrent in the organisation are one: one unity. The problems and issues that occur at the surface e.g. absenteeism, not performing as well as it could have, high burn-out rate, theft, etc. are symptoms of what is going on in the undercurrent.

As a leader you want to know what dynamics are at play here. Which relevant factors at the deeper underlying layer of your organisation you need to take into account in order to let your business, your team, your project flow.

What would it be like if an easily applicable, clear and at the same time in-depth management tool could provide you insight into the undercurrent dynamics?

Systemic Canvas

In 2015, together with colleague and friend Noemí Viedma Ponce from Barcelona, I participated at the international year training 'Systemic Dynamics in Organisations' at the Bert Hellinger Institute in the Netherlands. The ambition of Noemí was to summarise all systemic knowledge in 1 single overview in order to be able to work with it successfully. At the time we had no idea how to achieve this.

After a lot of training and a lot of experience with systemic work in organisations, Noemí succeeded. Inspired by the Business Model Canvas of Osterwalder, she developed the Systemic Canvas. A great achievement!

It is a powerful agile tool. It gives you insight into the dynamics at play and which relevant factors you need to take into account in your work as a leader, as a consultant, as a team coach at a deeper, underlying level.

The Systemic Canvas allows you to look at projects, teams and organisations with a systemic lens by specifically focusing on important keys: the Systemic Principles.

Principles that govern all living systems as organising forces in the undercurrent of every project, every team and every organisation.

The systemic concepts - placed in blocks like Osterwalder's Business Model Canvas - provide you with a snapshot of what structures and dynamics underlie the visible business model. The systemic concepts are operational levers for movement and connection and will bring awareness and create change at the surface.

By mapping the systemic concepts and the mutual relationship between these concepts for your company, team or project

• you create a powerful tool for leading;

• within a team: you develop a shared vision;

• a basis for guiding changes;

• for making decisions and

• design strategies.

In short: it gives you the tools to work on creating more efficient, healthier, people-oriented organisations.

'Unlocking the hidden currents beneath the surface

is the essence of true leadership

in navigating complexity'
