About the show

Criticising a system seems naive without suggesting a better one. This podcast series is about how to design useful human systems, including enterprises, communities, commercial businesses, government policy and your own life. It explains and applies the Pragmatists stream of Systems Thinking to assist with this design work. So, it critiques proposed systems using explicit classic concepts like consequences, anti fragile, evolution and contradiction.
