Learn Practical Tools to Tackle Complex Challenges
sistemaFutura has developed a cutting edge approach to combine systems analysis with behavioral science: to better understand and address complex challenges.
We teach our methods to clients through projects and in private workshops; we are now opening up our trainings to the broader community. Our first public training will be this February in-person and in Costa Rica (a great time to visit the country).
Please join us to discover how to combine behavioral science and systems thinking to make real, measurable change.

A practical workbook that equips you to drive systemic behavioral change in your work.
The training includes the toolkit we use for our own projects, and you are free to use it at your organization.
What You'll Learn
Gain the skills to understand complex systems, identify opportunities for meaningful change, and design solutions that create lasting impact.
Understand Systems
You’ll learn to map how people, social influences, institutions, and policies interact within a system. Instead of focusing on individual behaviors, we help you see the bigger picture: - How cultural norms shape decisions. - How institutional structures create barriers or opportunities. - How changes in one area can generate large-scale impacts, or be rendered completely ineffective by the structure of the system.

Practical Tools
You’ll work hands-on with tools to analyze systems effectively. This includes: - Human-centered causal loop diagrams, designed to support behavioral science insights and interventions. - Leverage point analysis, to identify opportunities for change. - Computational modeling to simulate the effects of your policies and programs, and how the may interact with future scenarios.

Real-World Examples
The training integrates case studies from development and business, showing how behavioral systems analysis is currently being used to solve complex problems. Examples include: - Addressing systemic issues in healthcare delivery. - Tackling gender-based violence with interventions designed to disrupt harmful feedback loops. - Evaluating the likely impact of new product features and marketing campaigns, before a costly launch
A Brief Overview of the Curriculum
Day 1
-
Introduction to Behavioral Systems
Start with the basics of Behavioral Systems Analysis: what it is, why it matters, and how you can use it to understand and address complex challenges.​
-
Case Studies and Tools for Mapping Systems
Explore real-world examples from international development and corporate contexts. Learn practical tools from human-centered causal loop diagrams to narrative-based participatory modeling, to help you understand behavioral dynamics over time and identify leverage points for change.
Day 2
-
Hands-On Practice with Your Own Project
Apply what you’ve learned to a real-world issue you or your organization faces. Work through the process step-by-step with expert guidance and collaborative feedback.
-
Advanced Tools: Modeling and Simulation
Dive into advanced methods, including computational modeling and social network analysis. Learn how to use these tools to provide more rigorous analyses of behavioral systems, estimate systemic impact of interventions, and quantify the effects of incomplete data and uncertain futures.
