Introduction to afternoon workshops, especially for industry people: Evolutionary Learning Laboratories; Participatory information gathering and integrating different mental models, Causal Loop Diagrams, Bayesian Networks, Sensimod, identification of leverage points and systemic interventions to manage complex problems in any area of interest.
What will I get out of the Workshop?
- Understand what is Systems Thinking, complex systems, multi-dimensional nature of issues facing managers, etc.
- Appreciate interconnectedness between different components of systems
- Awareness of easy-to-use systems tools
- Practical experience to unravel complexity and how to find long-term systemic solutions
- How to develop systemic policies and management plans
Who should be attending this unique Learning Experience?
EVERYONE regardless of your background; top and middle
managers; students in all fields of study;
decision makers and takers – especially those who will attend workshops during the following week who seek a better understanding of systems thinking and approaches.
