About the event
Research to Practice is designed to provide a virtual space for peer-to-peer discussion of an evidence-based topic of focus. These facilitated sessions aim to encourage a deeper conversation to inform your practice, sparked by a key area of research or
theory relevant to coaching and development.
Our next topic is inspired by systems thinking. In their article, Parkinson et al (2025) argue that interventions are more effective when they integrate both behavioural science and systems thinking. By applying systems thinking, coaches
can better understand how broader organisational patterns, feedback loops, and contextual factors influence behaviour. The authors also highlight design thinking as a practical method to help coaches co-create interventions that are both context-sensitive
and scalable. This approach enables meaningful development aligned with the complex systems in which we operate.
Come along ready to share your reflections on this article. Parkinson, J. A., Gould, A., Knowles, N., West, J., & Goodman, A. M. (2025). Integrating Systems Thinking and Behavioural Science. Behavioral Sciences, 15(4), 403-. https://doi.org/10.3390/bs15040403

AI notetakers
Using AI to record events raises ethical questions about privacy and consent, as well as concerns about data security. While AI systems can offer advanced capabilities, we prioritize respecting boundaries, ensuring transparency, and minimizing risks by relying on trusted human oversight for sensitive or confidential information. The AC will therefore not use or allow the use of AI notetakers for any our events.
