VSM5 is one of two courses that are designed for more advanced practitioners and will cover:
- Underlying systems principles and laws in VSM;
- Using VSM with other systems approaches.
Organisations exist to help us to do things that are more complex than we can carry out on our own, so understanding how they do that is critical in both problem solving and design. Complexity is now widely cited as a major management challenge and VSM was ahead in recognising this as a pivotal issue long before other approaches.
All organisations exist in relationships with other organisations so understanding how to use VSM in a multi-organisational system for both design and diagnosis can be critical.
Objectives:
You will cover:
- The systems laws and principles embodied in VSM
- Applying those
- Modelling multi-organisational systems
- Using VSM with other systems approaches: sequentially, nested & overlays
- Using VSM with non-systems approaches
Trainer
These courses are delivered by Patrick Hoverstadt, author of ‘Fractal Organization’, which is a standard text on.
