Systems Thinking Concepts

Boundaries: The confines of our program (or system) (e.g., our clinic-based guidance for healthy eating and physical activity)

Zooming Out: Looking outside of a program’s traditional boundaries- both within the organization and beyond- to see how other factors may influence the success of a health program.

Allows the planner to consider other factors (other interventions, policies, structures, patteners, norms) to develop new perspectives and identify leverage points to enhance the understanding of topic and impact of a program.

Leverage Points: Places within the system that can be tweaked in a way to support greater impact= can help further guide program and evaluation (diverse perspectives, understanding of interrelationships, boundaries)
