How systems thinking can serve people in
Corporations
The Waters Center has collaborated with numerous Fortune 500 companies to develop and implement systems thinking capacity-building initiatives in various formats. Our corporate engagements include everything from keynote addresses to multi-year programs that integrate effective systems thinking into a company's ongoing talent development framework through a trainer-of-trainers approach.
Systems Thinking in Action
In a corporate environment, our years of experience has shown us an effective way to meet leadership goals is by using relatable examples, such as family life or well-being systems. When employees connect with these relateable scenarios in their systems thinking capacity building, they become more engaged and better equipped to apply systems thinking to workplace challenges and performance goals. This approach not only enhances learning but also helps employees develop as systems thinkers rather than just employees who use systems thinking.
