INTRODUCTION

Organizational System Blindness are “blind spots” that undermine the effectiveness an organization’s processes and procedure, causing organizational to take on additional risk and resources in the process. One of the worst results of system blindness occurs when leaders implement a strategy to solve a problem — but ignore the pertinent system dynamics. The end result is you will get short-term relief, but the recurring problem will come back, often worse than before.

From System Blindness to System Sight

By mastering the fine Art of Systems Thinking, you can apply Systems Thinking to resolve complex business and human-based issues – without succumbing to unforeseen consequences. When practising systems thinking, you will be able to look at challenging situation with a calm disposition and come up with creative solution that does not cause too much disruption to the current system.

Learn how we can transform “system blindness” into “system sight,”

The benefit of this workshop is to train you to develop a powerful and multidimensional thinking skill set that can help them to identify and remedy chronic, complex problems – by understanding not only the full extent of the nature of the problem, rather why it is happening. Leaders trained in Systems Thinking are better able to use the limited resources strategically for the best results.

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

Understand the five types of system blindness in organization
Recognize recurring patterns, or archetypes in systems – based on the behaviour of the system over time
Concept map the elements in a system and the flows between those elements
Identify the causes and effects within a system
How to engage stakeholders in collaborative action to influence the outcomes of a system
Apply systems thinking principles from the workshop to current challenges faced in your industry

Who will benefit

This workshop is targeted to business owners and leaders working in any industry. Leaders and managers will be equipped to leverage the powerful perspectives and tools of systems thinking to gain a deeper understanding of their situation – and to find the most impactful point of intervention to stop a downward spiral in performance

Methodology:

This is a highly interactive and result-oriented workshop with hands on activities to stimulate the thinking process of the participants. The participants will also be brought through a process of evolution in their thinking methodology such that they should start to see the changes in their thinking process and become solution-centric rather than being problem-centric.
