Welcome to this free course, Practising systems thinking in practice (STiP).

After studying this course, you should be able to:

  • begin an inquiry into your own experience of practice, and that enables you to acknowledge, value and articulate your prior experience and its concerns.
  • provide insights into how managing change and making sense of the complex and conflicted ‘ways of the world’ are understood by a practitioner using STiP
  • lay the groundwork for how you might engage in practice with others in a social learning context 
  • appreciate the value of the concepts of critical social learning systems and communities of practice in learning with others.

This OpenLearn course is an adapted extract from the Open University postgraduate course TB871 Making strategy with systems thinking in practice and draws on the 2nd edition (2020) publication of Systems Approaches to Making Change: A Practical Guide by M. Reynolds, and S. Holwell (eds.) https://doi.org/10.1007/978-1-4471-7472-1_1
