In our complex and interconnected world organisations cannot carry on operating in a ‘business as usual’ manner. This is vitally important in a world of significant uncertainty and complexity arising in the context of growing recognition of stakeholders, rapidly changing technologies and changing weather and climate. Systems thinking emphasises holistic approaches to identifying and addressing complexity and uncertainty within and across technical and social systems. It is useful for everyday organisational challenges, such as management change, restructuring, exploring a new process and others. By understanding how different elements interact, rather than operating in silos, organisations can make smarter decision, anticipate challenges, mitigate risk and build resilience. Systems Thinking equips you with the mindset and tools to navigate complexity, identify root causes and drive meaningful change.

This course will help you see the bigger picture, identify patterns and mitigate unintended consequences, all of which are essential skills for leaders and problem-solvers in any field. Whether you work in public policy, education, business, healthcare, or beyond, you will gain practical techniques to transform complexity into clarity and make better decision with confidence.
