Description
Welcome to this badged open course, Mastering systems thinking in practice.
The course lasts eight weeks, with approximately three hours of study each week. You can work through the course at your own pace, so if you have more time one week there is no problem with pushing on to complete another week’s study.
This course may present you with challenges. You may not have studied systems thinking in practice via distance learning before. You may also have your own personal expectations of what you want to achieve through studying this particular topic.
By studying this course, you shouldn’t expect to master systems thinking in practice, but it should give you an in-depth introduction and prepare you for further studies if that is what you are interested in doing.
Systems thinking can be taught to people of any age and some of the key ideas can be quite easy to understand but can be very difficult to put into practice as they depend on experiences. Part of that difficulty is that while those ideas can be easy to understand in principle they are counter to the predominant ways of knowing, thinking and acting in most societies. So, while you may be enthusiastic about thinking and acting systemically, those people you work for and with may be uninterested or even antagonistic to such an approach because it is different or because it challenges their own beliefs and assumptions.
