. It uses the Multi-level Perspective framework (MLP) to map the systems transition at three key levels:
The Landscape Level : at this macro systems level the societal landscape is determined by changes in the macro economy, political culture, demography, natural environment, and worldviews and paradigms, which are usually slow moving and resistant... See more

Historical Evolution of Wicked Problems – Transition Design Seminar CMU
As Fritjof Capra says: a machine can be controlled, a living system can only be disturbed. At best, we will find ways of carefully nudging a living system. According to Donella Meadows, we must find its leverage points, those pivots that allow us to influence system behavior. Most importantly: after each cautious inter- vention, we must patiently o...

Understanding Living Systems
At what level of scale will the intervention be situated? • How does this project connect and amplify with the others? • How does the intervention connect to both the long-term vision and the near-term milestone(s) ? • Does it represent changes in material (artifacts/processes/ technology/policy etc) or non-material factors (attitudes/beliefs/ valu...

while it has roots in both content and process, it is enhanced by new technologies that enable dynamic, adaptive workflows to inform the design of real-world, people-oriented solutions.
