The State of Systemic Work 2025

A practical snapshot of how teams are coordinating strategy, org design, and delivery across complex systems, what’s working, what’s not, and how to move forward.

Systemic work is no longer a niche practice; it’s how modern organisations align strategy, operations, and change at scale. This report distils the current state of the field, patterns emerging across industries, and actionable moves you can use right away.

What’s inside:

  • Signals & patterns: How leading teams structure systemic initiatives and measure progress.

  • Ways of working: Governance, facilitation, and cross‑functional rhythms that sustain momentum.

  • Maturity cues: Practical markers to assess where you are—and how to level up.

  • Tools & artifacts: Ready‑to‑adapt canvases, checklists, and workshop moves.

  • Common traps: Where teams stall (and what unblocks them).

  • Outlook for 2025–2026: Trends shaping the next wave of systemic practice.

Who this is for:
Change leaders, strategy and ops teams, design and research leaders, PMO/portfolio managers, HR/People partners, and anyone orchestrating multi‑team outcomes.
