Introduction to systems change and how to use it for governance, with a strong equity, diversity and inclusion lens
20 March, 9:30 am - 12:30 pm
Content:
The first half will cover the basis of systems change theory as follows:
◌ Defining terms–what is a system? What is systems change?
◌ Understanding systems change as a process and outcome
◌ Introducing systemic practices wheel
◌ Different roles of a systems changer
◌ Q&A and reflection
The second half of this training is very practice-oriented and focused on governance. It takes the form of strategic questions any board of trustees and/or senior leaders could use to practice strategic oversight with a systems lens while maintaining a focus on equity, diversity and inclusiveness for systems change.
Key learning outcomes
By the end of the training, we hope the funding committee will:
- Have a basic but clear understanding of what systems change theory and practice is
- How to use systems change to provide strategic oversight as part of their role and remit.
- Better understand and support programmes that have are designed and implemented with strong systems change and equity focus.
