Steve set up the LinkedIn group for the Lean Systems Society of which he is part in order to bring together various members of the society. It is a a global, non-profit organization whose mission is to improve the world by improving its systems and system-building capabilities. The Lean System Society promotes thought leadership in the sciences and encourages collaboration and debate.

 

The Lean Systems Society believes that excellence in managing complexity requires accepting that complexity and uncertainty are natural to social systems and knowledge work. Effective systems must produce both better economic and sociological outcomes. Their development requires a holistic approach that incorporates the human condition. The Society is committed to exploring valuable ideas from all disciplines, and fostering a community that derives solutions from a common set of values and principles, while embracing specific context and avoiding dogma.

 

Steve lives in Malta but travels the world to keep up with the interest he receives from organisations of all sizes and nations. He occasionally cycles with Nathan while they discuss “flow” and its usefulness in both mind and business, occasionally stopping for coffee at their favourite Cafe!
