This programme is designed for:

Supervisors, executives and new managers who want to make better judgement through seeing the big picture and defining the problem correctly to find the right solutions.

Today's world is highly networked with highly connected and complex problems. Yet we tend to tackle them in a simplistic and symptomatic fashion, much like six blind men trying to figure out an elephant, resulting in ineffective solutions.

Why is this critical?

​

Systems Thinking is the art and science of tackling complexity. It harnesses both left and right brain thinking, collates the wisdom of the team into a coherent big picture, so that we can gain insight and solve problems more effectively. The benefits include: 
 

  • Collective sense-making of the situation

  • Identification of the core and relevant problem(s)

  • 'Big picture' view of the internal and external factors

  • Adoption of a dynamic approach, instead of linear and static views

  • A more accurate map of reality, from which strategy and action can be planned
