Systems Thinking & Complexity Leadership

When I first considered joining the workshop, I wondered how much I could gain given that managing complexity is part of my everyday role. But by the end of the second day, I was amazed at how much I'd learnt and how much of that I would be able to apply.  Much of this I think is the balance of team interaction during the sessions as well being able to hear from Kambiz himself about the latest developments in management thinking.  The range of backgrounds and the high calibre of the people on the course also give an opportunity to hear about what's happening in other pro-active organisations.

Totally brilliant – beyond my expectations and has sparked new patterns of learning! This new level of thinking is something I want to build on. Opening my eyes to the reality of interrelationships in events, patterns, systemic structures and mental models - From this day on my head is officially out of the sand! Thanks for such an inspiring experience!

The Thinking Strategically & Managing Complexity workshop was an extremely enlightening introduction to and development of the concepts of systems thinking. It was presented with an appropriate balance of practical workshop exercise backed up by theory. The facilitator, Kambiz Maani, demonstrated a thorough understanding of the topics and communicated this to the class with enthusiasm and humour. The course allowed all participants to interact with Kambiz and each other. I became familiar with a number of techniques that will undoubtedly prove useful in the workplace. This course would be ideal for any middle/senior manager who is presented with problems that have multiple variables or aspects to solve concurrently.
