Summary:
Systems thinking is a language for learning and action that helps us understand more deeply how organizations and complex systems really operate.  This lectureship discusses the tools, processes and principles enabling us to focus on the relationship among the parts, not just the parts themselves. 


Learning Objectives:

• Recognize the often hidden and unintended consequences of our actions.
• Change our own thinking to match the way complex systems operate.
• Change our behavior so that we are working with these complex forces, instead of against them, to create what we want.
• Expand the choices available to us and focus on high leverage changes.
• See trends and structure and create explanations for why things are happening.
• Apply system archetypes to your own situations. 
• Identify mental models and their role in structure.
• Plan and evaluate actions to improve system performance.
