Breakfast Briefing Event: Introducing Systems Thinking for Business

The event is jointly organised by the Gamification and Systems Thinking Lab and the University of Edinburgh's Executive Education Team, and will take place at the University of Edinburgh Business School in the 4th Floor Conference Room.

How could systems thinking help my organisation?

Modern organisations operate in increasingly complex environments characterised by rapid and often unpredictable change. Systems thinking can help you to engage with this complexity, and so developing systems thinking capabilities in business and management is a matter of survival.

This masterclass will introduce some of the key concepts in systems thinking, and provide an opportunity to begin mapping your business, ask questions and learn how to take your organisation’s systems thinking capabilities further. You will explore your own business as a system and learn how you can unfold complexity in your organisation and how it can limit or enable your strategy.

Who is this Masterclass for?

This event is designed for senior strategic and operational leaders. It will take place in-person with a limited number of spaces available.
