Join Ginny Wiley, systems thinking educator, organizational consultant, and president of Pegasus Communications, to find out why systems thinking is an essential tool for organizational success. Systems thinking helps us understand the causes that underlie persistent problems, recognize the highest leverage points for systemic intervention, formulate effective short- and long-term strategic plans, and make decisions with greater clarity and foresight. Participate in this hands-on session and familiarize yourself with some of the powerful tools that systems thinking has to offer.

“I thoroughly enjoyed the workshop! It was a great overview and reassured me that I did not have to become an expert on causal loops to apply the concepts of systems thinking.”
—Alvin S. Johnson, Hampton City (VA) Schools
