Systems Thinking

Causal Loops and Systems Archetypes

Many managers are now discovering the benefits of systems thinking.

By understanding how systems work, you will gain valuable insights into your organisation's structure and behavioural patterns. These insights will help you plan for the future, reduce risk, anticipate delays and prevent unintended consequences.

Systems archetypes are a set of the tools that will help you understand and analyse system behaviour. By going through the various archetypes, you will be able to spot problem areas and take steps to correct them. This workshop will cover 10 of the most common archetypes.
