Transdisciplinary Approaches and Systems Thinking

PlanAdapt’s strategy is to cross disciplinary boundaries to create holistic approaches. These enable inputs and scoping across scientific and non-scientific stakeholder communities facilitating a systemic way of addressing a challenge.

Transdisciplinarity requires adequate addressing of the complexity of problems and the diversity of perceptions of them, that abstract and case-specific knowledge are linked, and that practices promote the common good. PlanAdapt therefore supports approaches that are based on the interaction of scientific disciplines and different types of knowledge that are always employed to solve real-world problems. The joint identification of a shared problem (i.e. sense-making) is the starting point of all involvement of PlanAdapt in a process.
