About this course
This free course provides a postgraduate level introduction to systems thinking in practice, or STiP. Systems thinking in practice itself has a long history and has developed from many different disciplinary traditions and used many different techniques and approaches, but all based on viewing complex situations as systems. The ideas about reflection in this course invite you to use your own personal experience as a major resource for the exploration of change management with STiP. The course complements the OpenLearn course Understanding systems thinking in practice (STiP). This free course is an adapted extract from the Open University postgraduate course TB872 Managing change with systems thinking in practice.
