Among
our colleagues
and the associations
we have formed,
e.g. Pegasus
Communications
and Society
for Organizational
Learning, the
first question
people often
ask is:
“What
resources do
you have that
can get me started
learning about
Systems Thinking?”
In response
to this need,
Michael Goodman
has designed
for beginners
and anyone seeking
re-enforcement
of Systems Thinking
an interactive
web-based course,
“Applying
Systems Thinking
and Common Archetypes
to Organizational
Issues: An Introduction
to Systems Thinking.”
Sherry Immediato,
Managing Director
of the Society
for Organizational
Learning (SoL),
was also instrumental
in developing
the original
materials.
There are a
number of options
for individual
and teams on
how you can
use this content
and learn from
it:
- Individuals can select
to purchase a complete
interactive web based
version of this course
for $299 set up by AST
partner, ISEE Systems.
This version is self-paced,
takes 40-60 hours to
complete, and provides
you a 6-month license.
To register for this
program, or
to request coaching and
instruction from an AST
consultant/coach contact
us.
- We can customize this
content for any company,
team or learning organization.
When considering customized
content, we recommend
you skim articles relevant
to your goals in our
Resource Library. Our
customized programs draw
from the extensive experiences
of Michael and David
in work with their clients.
To learn more about how
to purchase an organizational
license or a license

contact Michael
Goodman.
Through any form of
participation, individuals
will:
- Develop an understanding
of Systems Thinking
and its applicability
to collective inquiry,
problem-solving,
and decision-making.
- Learn a new language
to communicate
more effectively
about complex problems.
- Develop skills
for analyzing problems,
identifying higher
leverage solutions,
and recognizing
both the intended
and unintended
consequences of
choices.
- Enhance skills
for having productive
conversations about
complex, controversial
issues.
We suggest you read all the articles at Introductory
Articles to Systems Thinking prior to taking
the course. |
