Systemic Intelligence (SysQ™) is an overlooked, misunderstood capacity. If you’ve heard of systems thinking — or the concept of a learning organization—you may have wondered how these concepts can be applied to your organization? We not only know how, we have done it! The key is building SysQ™—across the organization.

Working with us, we will help you and your team:

Systemic Intelligence (SysQ) is the ability to understand and solve complex interconnected problems by seeing the complete picture. SysQ combines practical tools with thinking methods that create a cycle of learning and improvement. The SysQ approach helps identify what drives a system, determine the best ways to improve it, and bring people together during implementation. Our SysQ capacity grows with practice, helping us tackle even more complicated real-world challenges.

SysQ helps us navigate today's complex challenges - from workplace talent issues to global problems like climate change and social division. It prevents the "bump in the rug syndrome" where fixing one problem creates another. SysQ stops groups from becoming "accidental adversaries", pursuing narrow goals that undermine broader solutions. We can use systemic intelligence to transform underperforming, maladaptive systems, because it helping us think: smarter (recognizing delays, loops, and consequences), faster (focusing on high-impact areas), and together (using visual tools that align understanding). With SysQ, we can turn overwhelming problems into opportunities for positive change across organizations, communities, and the world.

We provide comprehensive consulting, coaching, and training services designed to enhance your ability to understand and transform complex systems. Pontifex Consulting and its partners offer expertise in diverse practice areas, including: adaptive leadership development, conversational capacity building, improvisational and agile learning techniques, and structured change management approaches. Our interconnected services create a foundation for orchestrating deep learning about the systems you aim to improve, helping your team generate the insights needed to create lasting positive change.

In short, we’ll create the learning loop that is the core capacity of a learning organization.

We will assess what issues are most crucial to your success and then work with you to develop the capacity—and insight—you will need to solve those issues. Our training is high-impact; our consulting is high-insight.
