Seeing Organisations Differently: An Introduction to Systems Thinking

Online - Taster Workshop

A New Perspective on Organisations

Join us for an introduction to systems thinking and discover a new way of understanding organisations. Learn how seeing patterns, relationships and interdependence can help you better understand and strengthen the health of the systems you work in.

Making Sense of Organisational Complexity

Many of us approach organisations as though they are machines, solving one problem at a time. Systems thinking offers a different perspective, helping us see organisations as interconnected systems and better understand why challenges persist, why change can have unintended consequences, and where opportunities for lasting improvement lie.

Why this taster session is for you

This two-hour online taster session is for managers and leaders who want to develop a new perspective on organisations and the challenges they face. Through an engaging practical and participative introduction to systems thinking, you'll explore its core principles and discover simple models and techniques that can help you better understand and respond to organisational complexity.
