The systems leadership approach is well-suited to complex challenges that require collective action, where no single entity is in control. However, the approach is challenging – involving high transaction costs, ambiguous outcomes and long timeframes. It is best applied to complex issues that cannot be solved through more direct means.
Additionally, a large-systems approach understands that autonomous driving is a “complex socio-technical innovation” at its core. Unlike a small-systems approach, a large-systems approach is able to adapt to changes and technological developments over time, which is especially important given how nascent the technology is.
A systems approach leverages linkages across multiple infrastructure sectors, enhances integrated governance and finance, and deepens engagement among diverse stakeholders, thereby maximizing the co-benefits of climate actions. The report provides a 5-step action plan to guide cities in adopting a systems approach to urban infrastructure delivery.
The world is changing, and so too is the relationship between investors and those they invest in. A systems approach to investment — which expands on the classic investor-investee relationship to include other types of stakeholders and to deploy capital with a systems mindset and transformative intent — could be the best way to address the complex issues of our time.

Systems thinking approaches can be applied to urban mobility to promote public and active travel, improve air quality and simultaneously address the climate crisis. Highlighting the diverse benefits of car reduction strategies can foster positive public engagement and encourage transformative urban mobility solutions.
The urgency to combat climate change calls for more action to transform urban systems and cities, according to the World Economic Forum report on Delivering Climate Resilient Cities Using a Systems Approach. It advocates an approach that promotes integrated governance, and fosters collaboration among stakeholders.
The international community is making good progress in many areas of technology governance, but more action is still needed urgently to maximize technologies ability to benefit society. This requires taking a systems approach to weigh the costs and benefits of technology innovation and adoption.
Mobility systems in their current form are responsible for 8.7 billion tonnes of resources and 17.1 billion tonnes of GHG emissions a year – coming in second only to housing. With its mammoth footprint and contribution to air pollution worldwide, mobility is commonly associated with GHG emissions reduction in the minds of both policymakers ...
