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.

Learning Objectives

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
Predict the ripple effects of decisions
Apply systems thinking to solve real operational problems
Use structured tools to improve decision-making

Target Audience

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

Why Choose This Course
