Introduction to Systems Thinking

This 2-day course covers the WHY, WHAT and HOW of Systems Thinking:​

Understanding the WHY: We are surrounded by Systems and some of us create new ones and they are all interconnected. Systems Thinking helps to untangle this web and allows us to define the boundary of one system, so that its relationships to the rest can be discussed more effectively. This helps us to better understand the challenges ahead, expand the range of potential solutions in new ways, unambiguously describe our findings and logically analyse the impact of trade-offs, and thus make well informed and more robust choices.​
Explaining the WHAT: Systems Thinking is a method to broaden our thinking, help us to better articulate challenges, and to understand and accept that there are no perfect solutions. Every choice we make impacts the rest of the system, which is why we must be able to describe these relationships in the right language and express it using the appropriate Systems Thinking Tool for the problem at hand.​
Introducing one HOW: Systems Thinking is a mind-set (some even call it a ‘philosophy’) that comes with collection of tools, some in form of software – most use pen and paper, which is more accessible and more appropriate for a flip-chart.

Was ist eigentlich Systems Engineering? Und warum gewinnt das Thema aktuell immer mehr an Bedeutung? Die steigende Komplexität unserer Welt und die rasante Weiterentwicklung von Technologien machen systemisches Denken unverzichtbar. Gleichzeitig gilt es, die Systementwicklung durch standardisierte Prozesse, durchgängige Informationen und transdisziplinäre Arbeitsweisen zu strukturieren.
