Learning from the Titanic: understanding different levels of intervention with the iceberg model
The iceberg model reveals deeper aspects of social and environmental challenges. Take plastic pollution in oceans: cleaning is crucial, but without addressing the root causes, we're stuck in a cycle. We must question the structures, laws, and mindsets that perpetuate this issue. Read our insightful blog post on understanding and addressing the iceberg model. Let's avoid repeating history and move beyond surface-level fixes to create lasting change.
Revealing the Icebergs - why 3D Mapping shows what is below the surface
The 3D mapping exercise aims to help unveil the multifaceted aspects of the system in which the Catalysts aim to achieve change. Working with my hands helped me to unearth aspects my mind alone did not “see”. Working in parallel with somebody else revealed interconnections within the Catalyst community.
My original goal when I joined the Catalyst Lab was to improve the work I do in helping the Swiss economy become more sustainable.
Iceberg and Root Causes
