Abstract

How? This chapter sets out the fifth and final stage of the Adaptive Learning Pathway for Systemic Leadership which focuses on thinking about systemic effectiveness as the context of project management. There is one suggested resource which is signposted for thinking about systemic effectiveness, which is the Vanguard development of lean. Amongst other things, this approach combines thinking about efficiency with overall effectiveness from the client’s point of view. The operational principle for systemic effectiveness is clarity of purpose—often (curiously) something which is overlooked. The chapter concludes with the associated key facet of systemic leadership for this principle.

Notes

  1. 1.

    Originally the first stage was referred to as ‘check’, but ‘study’ is now (2018) Seddon’s preferred term to more accurately represent what is involved. Once a situation has been effectively studied, then perceived problems are different.
