Breaking Barriers: Designing Client-Centered Programs Using Whole Systems Thinking

An Interactive Audience Presentation

Discover how whole systems thinking and client-centered models can improve outcomes and engagement for your organization.

Introduction

Many organizations struggle with standardized programs that don't truly meet the needs of their clients. This disconnect leads to disengagement, poor outcomes, and frustration. In this presentation, I’ll share how a client-centered approach can transform program outcomes for the better.

The Problem

1. Standardized program models create barriers.

2. Clients receive impersonal support, leading to disengagement.

3. Missed opportunities for meaningful growth.

In both the child welfare system and adult education systems, standardized program models create barriers that prevent clients from receiving the personalized support they need. These barriers often result in disengagement, poor program outcomes, and missed opportunities for meaningful development.

The Solution

Adopting a client-centered approach using whole systems thinking helps programs address each client’s unique needs. Through real-world examples and journaling prompts, I’ll show how organizations can boost engagement and outcomes.
