This webinar describes systems thinking concepts and methods, why it is important and how it can be beneficially applied to portfolio, programme & project management. 

Traditional top-down ‘divide-and-conquer’ approaches are often unsuccessful for dynamically complex problems containing non-linear component, inter-dependencies or for complex projects, where there is a diversity of views amongst stakeholders as to what the objectives should be because:

• It is not clear where the ‘Top’ is.
• It is not clear how the problem should be ‘divided’.

Systems thinking is a discipline for seeing wholes and enables these types of problems to be addressed to identify where the key leverage points are. Systems thinking does not necessarily replace traditional top-down thinking, but can complement it by simplifying complex problems and making them easier to understand.

The webinar will describe what systems thinking is, why it is important and how it can be applied to portfolio, programme and project management to:

• Support identification and definition of the right portfolio, programme and/or project.
• Support implementing the portfolio, programme and/or project right.
• Maximise Outcomes/ Outputs and minimise unintended consequences.
