Gain insight into hidden dynamics, design integrated strategies and make smarter decisions using systemic thinking and simulation models.
What will you gain from this programme?
Participants will develop the ability to:
- Identify the invisible dynamics that affect the performance of the organization;
- 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 the dynamics behind the common strategies
- Understand and map their own strategic architecture
- Design integrated strategies that solve problems
- Develop the ability to use simulation models to help your decisions
Learning objectives
By the end of the programme, participants will:
- Identify dysfunctional dynamics that pressure the organization;
- Understand how interventions in one area often mean unintended problems in other areas and how to avoid that problem;
- Understand the importance of the different delays in the existing business processes;
- Understand how the different areas integrate to for the strategic architecture of the organization;
- 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
This programme does not include formal grading. Participants receive a certificate of completion based on active participation and engagement in simulation exercises and discussions.
