About this course

A two-day course on systems thinking as a way to define system boundaries, understand relationships, articulate challenges and analyse trade-offs. It covers system characteristics and classification, cause and effect in system dynamics and complexity, handling negative behaviour, and an overview of thinking tools and standard perspectives, with three workshops applying the tools to participants' own challenges. Runs in Zürich and Munich.
