System Thinking Practitioner Level 7
Duration: 24 months
Systems Thinking Practitioners support decision-makers in strategic and leadership roles to understand and address complex and sometimes even ‘wicked’ problems through the provision of expert systemic analysis, advice and facilitation.
The occupation addresses complex problems that cannot be addressed by any one organisation or person, but which require cross-boundary collaboration within and between organisations. Example employers include public service, research, NHS, corporations with complex supply chain and partner relationships, banks, financial services and NGOs addressing social challenges as well as specialist consultancy service providers.
