David and Lucie discuss the principle Holistic Interventions: “This principle applies to company activities. It leads to an expectation that any interventions consider all angles and implications of implementation.”
David emphasizes the importance of looking at the whole system rather than isolated components, using examples from education and health to illustrate the potential pitfalls of not thinking holistically. The conversation touches on the complexity and challenges of holistic approaches, acknowledging that they are crucial for addressing complex, ‘wicked’ problems. David highlights that holistic interventions are central to IDEMS’ work, enabling the organization to collaborate across disciplines and provide value beyond specific domains.
