This paper reviews Local Systemic Intervention (LSI). LSI results from learning about Total Systems Intervention (TSI). Learning followed application of TSI and by putting TSI through a postmodern critique. LSI is a complentarist approach. It encourages diversity through local decision making about the relevance of designs, consideredness of decisions and astuteness of judgements. It encourages developing discourse around these three centres of learning and designing action accordingly. There is a regular stream of applications of LSI in many types of organisations.
