Course Overview:

This workshop enables professionals to move beyond traditional, linear problem-solving and develop a deeper understanding of how systems, people, processes, and structures are interconnected. You will learn to look past surface-level challenges, identify true root causes, and anticipate unintended consequences before decisions are implemented. Through interactive discussions, proven systems-thinking frameworks, real-world case studies, simulations, and guided reflection, the course fosters a shift from isolated fixes to holistic, system-wide solutions.


Learning Objectives

By the end of this course, you will be able to:

  • Understand how people, processes, and systems influence one another
  • Diagnose root causes rather than addressing symptoms
  • Map workflows and visualize system behavior and dynamics
  • Anticipate both short- and long-term impacts of decisions
  • Apply systems thinking to real-world operational and organizational challenges
  • Use structured tools and frameworks to support informed, effective decision-making

Target Audience

This course is ideal for:

  • Project managers and PMO teams
  • Operations, quality, and process improvement professionals
  • Business analysts, consultants, and strategic planners
  • Engineering and technical professionals
  • Professionals involved in cross-functional problem-solving and decision-making.
