Making the magic of systems leadership inspire and empower systems so their participants may thrive
Acclaimed as being “astonishingly creative and an
educator in the best sense of the word”, Anupam Saraph has been making the magic of
systems leadership accessible to institutions and individuals across Asia, Africa, Europe,
and the Americas. He has brought inspiring insights and empowered unconventional interventions
through his methods.
In 1994, systems thinker Donella Meadows highlighted that Anupam had invented "a new kind of modeling and a new philosophy" that recognized for the first time, “that 'systems' arise, ultimately, out of consciousness; that the most profound way to understand a system is to understand its consciousness; and that the most inexpensive, elegant, and lasting way to change a malfunctioning system is to change its consciousness”. The resulting field of possibility innovation has enabled innovative and impact-making designs and responses that shape the futures of systems, institutions, and individuals they sustain.
Since then, Anupam has not only empowered leaders to future-proof their systems but also to create environments where their participants thrive in more livable and sustainable systems. He is driven to inspire and empower systems leadership in every system to identify leverage that fosters robustness, resilience, sustainability, and livability so the systems and their participants may thrive.
Anupam's methods have empowered systems leadership across the United Nations, World Economic Forum, Club of Rome, governments and public institutions across continents, NGOs, small, medium, and large businesses, as well as communities, bringing the art of possibility, responsibility, and empathy to their worlds. With it, they have improved alignment to common purposes, refined their missions, and brought robustness, sustainability, resilience, and livability while furthering their causes, accomplishing phenomenal growth, and creating lasting value.
He also mentors and builds capacity for systems thinking, writes columns, and finds connection, energy and joy in deep conversations, reading, music, and being with nature – wildlife, freshwater streams, mountains, and wilderness. He occasionally dabbles in watercolors, gardening, and harmonium.
