I never quite thought of it that way - but I guess I could suggest my course The Practice of Peace. Next offering will be in Halifax. Check out www.openspaceworld.com <http://www.openspaceworld.com/> for details. It is definitely systems thinking with an ho twist. If he/she wants a standard academic version - this is definitely not the place to go.

Sent: Monday, March 01, 2004 9:06 AM To: osl...@listserv.boisestate.edu Subject: Systems Thinking Does anyone know of a good systems thinking course? Maybe 2 or 3 days? I have a client who needs to immerse himself in the concepts of the following: 'System' - a collection of elements connected to form a whole. Systems Thinking holds the ideas of emergence and hierarchy, communication and control. Systems practice uses these ideas to design and manage complex processes and constructions for the benefit of individuals, organisations and society. This includes the idea that you can make a change in a system and you can get unintended consequences. So the course needs to incorporate the issues of making positive change.
