@Elisa Pratt, MA CAE and I have published a white paper on adopting a systems perspective on organisational effectiveness (see attached). The systems approach to association management is all about understanding the interactions between different elements of a system (the association), rather than each element in isolation. By looking at how the constituent parts of the association function together, managers and leaders can uncover hidden relationships, anticipate unintended consequences, and develop more sustainable solutions for their value proposition, as well as realizing resource efficiencies within their operations. Our white paper defines the value of a systems approach to association management, exploring the benefits and practicalities of using a wide lens to recognize how everything is connected and how, to a greater or lesser extent, everything is dependent on the successful function of everything else within the association (the system) to ensure success. We hope you find its insights helpful. Let us know your thoughts!
