Designing Interventions for Social Change in Complex Systems
Most development work by social purpose organisations happens through deliberate intervention to bring about social change. The issues are a conglomeration of messy problems in complex systems. This program provides you with the knowledge and skills of a systems approach to build a deeper understanding of the system you are trying to intervene in, and then builds your ability to design interventions in that system to bring about social change. It will enable your ability to apply regenerative systems design in their respective contexts. The sessions will equip you with frameworks that enable you to design for transition into a new future anchored in the vision of Agenda 2030 of the UN’s SDGs
In the 3-day workshop, you will
- Employ systems tools to analyse complex social contexts;
- Identify a leverage point for intervention;
- Design an intervention using purposeful programme theory.

Faculty - Designing Interventions for Social Change in Complex Systems
Professor, Purposeful Program Theory
Shashi is a seeker, practitioner and teacher in inward journeys of well-being, and outward journeys of complex systemic change. Blessed with the good fortune to experience deep states of well-being and appreciating the struggles of so many adults, youth, and children to move to such states, he feels deeply compelled to work in this area. This has led him to questions like: “How can we create a movement for well-being in India? How can we tap into the energy of the vast number of individuals who care about the well-being of youth and children to create such a movement? What can be done to ensure that various programs that introduce adults, youth, and children to well-being, lead to sustaining and deepening their well-being?” An alumnus of IIT Madras and IIM Bangalore, Shashi has 27 years of experience in the corporate sector in organisations like L&T, and NIIT. Of this, 14 years was as a CEO, scaling an IT Training and Consultancy from its infancy. He has over 15 years of experience in the social sector, particularly school education systems, having worked in Azim Premji Foundation and Azim Premji University. Currently, Shashi is a Founding Director of Viridus Social Impact Solutions, a Trustee of Kiirti Trust and a co-initiator of the Well-Being Movement.
