The world has gone through a shock in the past few months, and through this time, the vulnerabilities and inefficiencies present in our systems have become more apparent. These include vulnerabilities to healthcare, food and trade system, employment and social security systems, risks posed by biodiversity and climate change, the push for digital transformation and automation, growing socio-economic inequalities, and many more. The effects of the crisis are manifold and cascading.
Confronted with these challenges, it is not surprising that more and more voices are calling for true transformation of existing governance systems. Yet, we are already heading back towards the ‘normal’ or the ‘new normal’ and the window of the opportunity for systemic change may go unused. We need to ensure that governments sieze this opportunity for change rather than "wasting the crisis." In this webinar, we will discuss how systems approaches could be used for true transformation in a post-Covid19 world. We will be joined by special guests with specialized and practical experience in the field:
- Dr. Andrea Cooper, Deputy Director of the Policy Innovation Unit at the UK Cabinet Office
- Marco Steinberg, the Founder of Snowcone & Haystack
- Prof. Dr. Ira Helsloot, Professor of Governance of Safety and Security at the Radboud University
- Laurent Bontoux, Senior Foresight Expert, European Commission Joint Research Centre
