Critical Systems Thinking (Online: Wits DigitalCampus) 12

Overview

We live in a world that is volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous. Systems thinking expert, Michael C Jackson, highlights the demand these characteristics place on decision- makers at every level to manage the emergent complexity within our organisations, society, and environment. These global challenges require a new way of thinking. Systems thinking is an essential future-fit leadership skill. Critical Systems Thinking provides a framework in which we can apply Systems Thinking methodologies and models in considering new and existing situations and approaching these from multiple perspectives, disciplines, and skills. This course aims to assist learners to look at situations, whether complex, wicked or simple, more holistically by adopting a collaborative approach on how to view systems, and people as part of the system.
