Systems Thinking and Engineering: Framework for Impact


Be the first to rate
The overall theme and desired outcome for attendees taking this executive course is the ability to make decisions with impact. Framing complex problems in systems terms allows decision-makers to identify key information and capability nodes, as well as define tools for intervention and change. As systems are baselined, conceptualized, and designed, these intervention levers are points of impact for systems thinkers and engineers. Through the communication of system concepts, these ideas will be illustrated with key emerging complex problems including remote healthcare.
