Overview
What you will study
The Systems Thinking Approach to Change Management course offered by University of Oxford shows how to first assess Change projects in terms of their complexity and then to apply tools and methods appropriately. The course takes the traditional concepts of Change including Communication and Persuasion and moves them up to a higher, Systems Thinking level.
Individual thinking styles and models of diverse cultural responses to Change are embedded in a framework of Complexity Theory and Systems Thinking.
The course includes tools to evaluate change readiness and team alignment and identifies key skills for Change leadership. It features an Agile approach to project execution and covers key facilitation skills for Change Team leadership.
We introduce a series of tools to deal with Complexity and Emergence including rich analysis of the organisational context and Change problem. We present a Systems Thinking approach to Change Project initiation and management based on Dr Rob Collins’ book “Visual Project Maps”.
