ALT A diagram showing the iceberg framework with a visual outline of an iceberg and supporting text. Title reads, "The Iceberg Framework: Uncover Root Causes of Systemic Challenges." Four labels attached to the diagram by lines appear, starting from top to bottom: "Events" (which is above the waterline of the iceberg), and then "Patterns and trends," "Structures," and "Mental models," which are all below the waterline.
ALT Slide 2 of 4 describing the iceberg framework. Title reads, "The Iceberg Framework: How Depth Makes a Difference." There are four bullet points below. The first reads, "Going Beyond Symptoms: Identify root causes rather than just addressing immediate events." The second reads, "Leverage Points Revealed: Find deeper, more effective intervention areas." The third reads, "Mindset Shift: Uncover underlying beliefs that sustain systemic issues." The fourth reads, "Supporting Long-Term Change: It encourages structural and cultural transformation."
ALT Slide 3 of 4 describing the iceberg framework as taught on the Delta course. Title reads, "The Iceberg Framework: Delta Cohort Feedback". There are two testimonials below. The first reads, "I enjoyed thinking about the underlying beliefs that shape the structure and patterns that keep the system in place!" The second reads, "On the surface (pardon the pun), the iceberg model seems straight forward but facilitating each level requires some serious understanding of the boundaries of each and enough knowledge to ask pertinent, guiding questions."

How do we create change that will have impact on complex societal challenges? The Good Shift (which used to be the Griffith Centre for System Innovation Australia) has just published a new “Learnbook”, based on practical experience.
Rather than the typical approach of “understand the system first, then act”, they've adopted an approach of “learning forward” through small actions as learning probes. They define ‘learning’ not as the absorption of knowledge, but as action & reflection in practice, so that we can take better next steps forward.
