Systems Thinking is a:
way of seeing the world that recognizes the intricate interconnections and dynamics that make systems (especially living ones) behave in such interesting and often unpredictable ways.
set of very practical tools and approaches to understand challenges on a deeper level and become better problem solvers.
language that allows us to communicate about complex challenges in a way that fosters collaborative problem solving and joint understanding.
In this 1-hour session, we gave participants a taste of what mental habits you can adopt to become a systems thinker and how this can make you a better problem solver.
When: Tuesday, February 18, 18:00 CET / 10:00 MST
