System Thinking for Innovation & Decision Making
Systems Thinking is recognized as an effective approach to help leaders, managers and organisations make sense of the interconnectedness of systems and develop strategic plans and solutions that are effective and sustainable. The approach formalises the process and provides tools and models that help organisations examine complexity, recognise the interplay of forces, see patterns of behavior over time, and thereby generate effective solutions.
In the 1-day workshop, participants will learn the key strategic and systems thinking skills that will help them innovate, plan, and implement tactics effectively and strategically.
