Dr. Hamed Shakouri Ganjavi.

A system thinking methodology for problem solving in a complex world

Tue Sep 29 2020 00:00:00 GMT+0000 (Coordinated Universal Time)

Many of our interventions may focus only on symptoms rather than addressing the underlying problems. “Is it a Cause of a Problem or just its Symptoms?” Answers to this type of questions help to determine whether our actions are merely band-aids or are likely to have a lasting impact. System thinking is an approach to problem solving that advices viewing “problems” as parts of an overall system, rather than reacting to specific parts, outcomes or events. To overcome complexities, nonlinearities, dynamics and delays, interconnections and cyclic relations, “System Approach” introduces a methodology to analyze and then synthesize a system’s components so that the causes of a problem can be distinguished and solutions can be realized. This webinar is an introduction to the “System Dynamics” methodology, which is known as a powerful tool for techno-socio-economic problem solving in a complex environment.
