Systems Thinking for Enhanced Decision-Making

Cross-sectoral leadership frequently involves making decisions in complex situations and environments. Understanding the various aspects and elements involved and their interrelationships is crucial for minimising unintended consequences. Systems thinking equips leaders with the skills to identify and comprehend systems, anticipate their behaviours, and design interventions to steer these systems toward desired outcomes, thereby providing greater certainty for all stakeholders. This course is part of the Executive Public Sector-Industry Program.
