GENESYS - New Approaches for Economic Challenges
"It is now widely recognised that reductionist, sectoral, ad hoc and short-term policies are inadequate to face the systemic structural issues which threaten the future. New analytical and systems-oriented approaches are required both to understand and to manage the connected systemic issues of the modern world. As governments are forced by reality to move towards more integrated systems-based approaches to the formulation and implementation of policy, it will become increasingly necessary to build new analytical capabilities within governments. New economic thinking and systems-based approaches offer enormous potential and Government Economists for New Economic Systems (GENESYS) offers a platform for debating, experimenting and discussing policy alternatives and the analytical approaches which underpin them."

Local Resilience Planning | Pivot Projects
By harnessing the expertise and diverse viewpoints of global participants, Pivot Projects seeks to help solve the world’s ecological challenges, including climate change. We aim to influence on two vectors: by making policymakers aware of new thinking and priorities; and by working with people in their communities to help them identify and address their most pressing sustainability issues. We take a holistic view of humanity’s complex relationships with the rest of nature—incorporating not just science but economics, politics, arts, culture, personal development, community, and beliefs.

About the School of System Change | Forum for the Future
The School has been initiated and nurtured by Forum for the Future, with the support of multiple partners. We have the ambition to serve the emerging field of systems change, as a vehicle for connecting and amplifying spheres of learning and practice, and as a case study of an initiative grown explicitly as a system change endeavour. To do this we have used a methodological framework developed by Anna Birney, Director of the School and author of Cultivating System Change: A Practitioner’s Companion (2014). This framework suggests key capabilities for bringing about system change for a sustainable future can be divided into five core areas (read more here on our blog) which underpin our curriculum and our everyday practice.
