Systems Practice

The concept of a system embodies the notion of a collection of elements connected to form a whole. The act of thinking about the world in terms of 'systems' is called systems thinking. It is claimed: 'Clear systems thinking is one of the basic literacies of the modern world, not least because it offers unexpected insights that are not amenable to common sense'. This is its great value; it can enable you to go beyond common sense, so as to make new sense of situations of complexity that include both problems and opportunities. By studying our courses, you will begin to think differently and creatively about social and technological issues and develop new skills for managing and decision making. Courses on offer introduce a broad range of approaches to systems thinking and practice.
