What is systemic coaching? ... part 2

In the first of these White Papers we referred to the recent rallying call to coaches to become more ‘systemic’. We can expect to hear more and more about ‘systemic coaching’ as organisations continue to wrestle with the demands of the ‘Fourth Industrial Revolution’, the super-fast transformation of society that we are all a part of. The term ‘systemic coach’ has already been appropriated by different people, many of whom advocate quite different approaches to working with complexity. In the last White Paper we looked at an example of a first-order systems theory. In this paper we look at a second-order systems theory and consider how that may show up differently in the coach’s approach.
