Unlock the Power of Systems Thinking: 3 Mindsets to Reframe Any Challenge Many people are using systems thinking intuitively without realizing it, but how can you strategically use it to navigate complex systems challenges and see things in new ways? Deirdre Cerminaro, Creative Strategist, speaker, and Human-Centered Systems Thinking instructor, is skilled at breaking down complex systems and finding simple levers to drive lasting change. Join us for a live conversation with Deirdre, where we’ll discuss how to use the 3 mindsets of systems thinking to help you reframe and refine your challenge: - Zooming in and out of the problem - Shifting your perspective on the problem - Being aware of your lens *Can’t make the live webcast?

In our latest Creative Confidence episode, Deirdre Cerminaro dives into the art of systems thinking. She breaks down three essential mindset shifts for reframing challenges and tackling complexity effectively: 1️⃣ Zoom In & Out: Step back to see the broader context or zoom in to examine details. Systems thinking requires a flexible lens for both the big picture and specific parts. 2️⃣ Shift Perspective: Like changing a camera angle, this mindset invites you to explore from different viewpoints—revealing insights you might otherwise miss. 3️⃣ Be Aware of Your Own Lens: We all bring biases to how we see problems. Recognizing these influences helps us ask better questions and open up new solution spaces. Discover more about these mindsets and how to practice them now. https://ideo.in/3C4wXao #IDEOU #SystemsThinking #MindsetShifts #CreativeConfidence #ComplexProblemSolving #HumanCenteredDesign

In the final post of our 3-part series on How to Overcome Roadblocks to New Ideas we’re looking at the roadblock of having many too cooks in the kitchen, resulting in an overwhelming amount of ideas. Roadblock #3: Too Many Ideas Companies need good ideas to flourish. But most teams will agree that the problem isn’t a lack of ideas, it’s that there are too many ideas. It’s challenging for leaders to balance the everyday running of the business with visionary work, and an overabundance of options can over-extend resources, people, and profitability and cause disruption in the day-to-day running of the business.
