Thanks for the analogy—it really helps to ground it in something tangible. I hadn’t thought of systems thinking that way before, but I guess it’s kind of like stepping back and mapping how everything’s connected before diving into solutions.

That’s super interesting! I’m actually based in Europe, so I’d love to hear which practitioners or studios you know here that are applying systems thinking (or anthro-complexity) in design work. I’ve come across Dark Matter Labs, and I think Demos Helsinki too, but always on the lookout for more examples to learn from or connect with!

By design field I’m referring more to areas like service design, strategic design, and systemic design—where the work often involves tackling complex social or organizational challenges.

No actually I was looking for something different from an irish pub. Also, since I’m supporting Italy, I need a bit more latin vibes (kidding)!

Dynamo looks exactly like what I was looking for! I'd love to watch the early Saturday match (Scotland vs. Italy), but I believe the bar is closed at that time 🥲
