Decision-makers have to make decisions and define strategies in the operating environment dominated by uncertainty. War in Europe, energy prices and green transition, inflation, crisis of democracies and climate change are going to change the dynamics of the global – and local -systems. We are speaking about deep uncertainty that requires deep resilience. The Global X Network has used systems approach for two case studies; The world after Covid (March 2020) and The world after Ukrainian war (April 2022). I will provide participants a brief summary of the results, but the main focus of the discussion will be in systems analysis as a tool for foresight and anticipatory strategising.
Leena Ilmola is a systems scientist, emerita, from International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA) and she has dedicated her recent work for deeper understanding of systems resilience.
