Systems Thinking, Mapping, and Leadership Practicum II

Catalog description

This course is a real-world immersion experience into the kind of work Fellows will undertake. Dealing with wicked and non-trivial problems in large and complex systems where the client may or may not be ambiguous, the work may or may not be contracted and the product may or may not be welcomed. Deliverables for the course include a single, team-based Professional Report and a Professional Presentation. These products will summarize the results of the STML Fellows research and propose a framework for clients to understand and act upon the problem using systems thinking and leadership methods. The report relies heavily on a review of the literature on the topic, Fellows' discussions and interviews with experts in the field, and their own original analysis.
