Team spotlight and organisational profile on the Systems Futures website
Dedicated onboarding and ongoing support
"I’ve explored RIAHSAH Co’s digital products and found them incredibly useful for helping organisations shift how they think and plan. They draw on real-world systems change practice from RIAHSAH Co and other leading work in the field. For Researchers interested in evaluating change, I strongly recommend "Evaluating Complexity: Systems Approach to Impact Evaluation", which offers a variety of systems thinking tools for evaluation and guides you in designing your own evaluation process."
"Leading Systems Change in Public Health turned big ideas into practical steps I could use immediately. The workbook’s clear systems lenses, African case studies, and step-by-step leadership tools helped me map local dynamics and improve my programmes delivery. The exercises and templates make the workbook actionable. If you work anywhere in adolescent health, HIV, or preventive care, this is a concise, evidence-based guide to driving real change in complex public health systems."
“Systems Futures turned foresight into something I use every week. The community gatherings, SIF® canvases and toolkits, and generous peer feedback helped me map my business challenges, test options across futures, and make clear, evidence-based decisions. It’s practical, collaborative, and rooted in Africa’s realities, less theory, more momentum. I’ve found partners and sharpened my business strategy.”
