biomatrix systems thinking course

module 1: overview of general and biomatrix systems theory

The first module of the Biomatrix systems thinking and problem solving course. It provides an overview of systems thinking, some key systems concepts and their application to management.
Its aim is to change worldview and transform viewers into systems thinkers.

module 2: systemic problem (dis)solving

The second module of the Biomatrix systems thinking and problem solving course. It provides the theory for understanding problems, when they can be solved and when they need to be dissolved through ideal system redesign. It provides relevant methodologies, including systemic brainstorming techniques.

module 3a: activity system (function) design

This module explains the design and management of a sustainable supply chain based on seven forces of system organisation and their associated organising principles.
A sustainable supply and value chain needs to consider the coherent and continuous flow of products and by-products and generate benefits for all stakeholders and minimise negative impacts on the planet.

module 3b: entity system (organisation) design

This module explains the design and management of an organisation as a learning matrix, based on seven forces of system organisation and their associated organising principles.

A learning organisation is wired for ongoing change in accordance with its changing environment in a creative, resilient and internally coordinated manner.

module 4: implementation planning

This module shows how to make a step by step implementation plan for the ideal system design made in the previous module.

Learners realise the importance of implementation planning, because such a plan implementation plan reveals, if the design can be implemented or not. Many good designs have failed, because the implementation was not planned sufficiently.

module 5: w/holistic change management 

This module explains the generic principles of how systems change and develop.

It also provides methods for managing and facilitating each step in the methodology discussed in module 2 on Complex Problem (Dis)Solving, namely from problem analysis to a creative design and its sustained implementation.
