Course Overview

This workshop helps professionals break away from linear thinking and learn to understand how systems, people, processes, and structures interact. Participants will learn to analyze root causes, avoid unintended consequences, and make more informed decisions. Through discussions, models, case explorations, simulations, and reflective exercises, the session encourages a mindset shift from isolated problem-solving to holistic, systems-level awareness.

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

  • Identify how systems, processes, and people interact
  • Recognize root causes rather than treating symptoms
  • Map workflows and analyze system dynamics

  • Operations, quality, and process improvement professionals
  • Business analysts, consultants, and planners
  • Engineering & technical professionals
  • Anyone involved in problem-solving across teams or structures
