Developing a Systems Mindset
A Systems Mindset teaches learners how to effectively engage as service providers, consultants, researchers, developers, or other professionals who deliver a service or product to an individual, group, or community. This course lays the groundwork for policymakers, real estate developers, consultants, government agencies, engineers, and non-profit groups to take the initial steps in tackling complex challenges that need collaboration with communities and stakeholders.
Being a successful professional necessitates creative, imaginative, and entrepreneurial thinking as well as a constant problem-solving attitude. Without a doubt! However, you must also be a good listener. You must sincerely cherish the community and stakeholders—those who stand to benefit or lose the most from your activities. It is critical that you listen, understand what is vital, and then act. This course will emphasize the need for having a systems mentality in order to address complicated challenges from a systems viewpoint, which means approaching problems from many angles, sizes, and perspectives.
This course is the first step in developing that mentality and effectively engaging—from receiving the "ask" for "help" to orienting yourself to the issue, understanding the community, and developing a project plan. Students will learn how to comprehend scaled systems, nested hierarchies, and the linkages between social and environmental systems by employing a systems mentality. Students will also acquire practical skills and tactics for developing rapport, trust, and buy-in from others.
