Motivation and goals
This course will enable you address difficult managerial situations based on complex problems. — Management is particularly concerned with making decisions. Simple decisions are increasingly taken over by machines, tough decisions require great skill and experience to be made. The toughest decisions are rooted in complex problems. Since decision-making is the manager's key activity (not attending meetings, in case you were wondering), identifying, analyzing and solving complex problems is a very important skill set for any manager in any company anywhere in the world. This skill set is the core issue for our course. To address it, you will encounter and practice a number of problem solving tools used in some of the most successful companies and by some of the most successful managers out there. All of these tools can loosely be categorized as "systemic" methods because they utilize the systemic properties of organisations (such as having an inner/outer part, exhibit emergence etc.). For more information, see the infomercial.
