Master complex projects with systemic thinking, co-creation, and simulation tools to prevent overruns and deliver sustainable results.
What will you gain from this programme?
Participants will be able to:
- Identify the invisible dynamics that affect your projects before anyone else sees them coming;
- Understand why fixing one problem often creates three new ones (and how to break that vicious cycle)
- Recognize which delays matter and which ones don’t
- Understand co-creation frameworks that make everyone invested in success
- Design integrated strategies that solve problems
- See the whole structure of the project, instead of isolated parts
- Develop the ability to understand and interpret simulation models to help your decisions
Learning objectives
By the end of the programme, participants will:
- Identify dysfunctional dynamics that pressure projects;
- Understand how interventions in one area often mean unintended problems in other areas or later and how to avoid that problem;
- Understand the importance of the different delays in a project;
- Understand the power of co-creation with all the participants in the project and learn co-creation frameworks to improve performance;
- Design integrated strategies to improve performance; Develop the ability to think systemically, dynamically and responsibly in the decision-making process.
Literature
Participants will engage with academic literature from:
- Project Management
- System Dynamics applied to project and service management
- Marketing: Value Co-creation, Motives to Co-create, and Social Capital
Assessment and Completion
