Case Study

Conclusion 1: Systems Thinking in Community Health

• You’ve done this before; you’re doing it already.

“What has been will be again.” (Ecclesiastes 1:9 ; Starship Galactica Season 2)

• The development of development (Robert Chambers is still with us!)

Conclusion 2: Systems Thinking in Community Health

• Avoid ‘all or nothing’ thinking.

“There is just more to learn.”(Dr Who, Season 9)

• New tools, new approaches, new language (some from the 1970’s) can help us:

– Understand better

– Study better

– Achieve more

• Interest in more about systems thinking? Tell us!!!
