Talk Description

In this talk, Jenna Charlton introduces systems thinking as a holistic approach to understanding complex systems by focusing on the relationships and interactions among their components. 

This perspective emphasizes viewing processes end-to-end to identify potential risks and opportunities that might be overlooked when examining individual parts in isolation.

 

Learning Outcomes:

  • Gain the ability to assess entire systems, recognising how constituent parts interrelate and influence one another over time
  • Develop skills to identify root causes of issues within complex systems, leading to more effective and sustainable solutions

 

By adopting systems thinking, individuals can improve their problem-solving capabilities and make more informed decisions that consider the broader context of the systems they engage with.
