Course Overview:
This workshop enables professionals to move beyond traditional, linear problem-solving and develop a deeper understanding of how systems, people, processes, and structures are interconnected. You will learn to look past surface-level challenges, identify true root causes, and anticipate unintended consequences before decisions are implemented. Through interactive discussions, proven systems-thinking frameworks, real-world case studies, simulations, and guided reflection, the course fosters a shift from isolated fixes to holistic, system-wide solutions.

- Map workflows and visualize system behavior and dynamics
- Anticipate both short- and long-term impacts of decisions
