Description
This presentation introduces Perceptual Control Theory (PCT) as an 'inside-out' approach to systems thinking, offering a unique perspective for practitioners in the field. PCT posits that control is an internal process, emphasizing the control of perception rather than behaviour. This distinction sets PCT apart from many traditional systems thinking approaches. The talk will elucidate key PCT concepts including conflict, reorganisation, and hierarchical levels of control, illustrated with practical examples. By exploring these ideas, we aim to demonstrate how PCT can enrich our understanding of complex systems and change processes.The session will conclude with a 10-minute Q&A, encouraging interactive discussion and exploration of PCT's potential applications in various systems thinking contexts.
