Certificate of Achievement
has completed the following course:
Systems Thinking and Complexity
UNESCO UNITWIN Complex Systems Digital Campus
This online course introduced ideas from systems thinking and practical ways to implement them. Systems thinking is holistic. Participants learned how drawing analytic systems diagrams can clarify part-whole structures and interactions. The course progressed from a formal systems model to the emerging science of complex systems which uses new computational methods to investigate future system behaviours.
2 weeks, 2 hours per week
