Systems thinking is an approach to problem-solving that sees complex entities as a series of components with each part interacting with, and influencing, the rest.The approach can be applied to managing organizations: the various divisions, units, and teams (the components) of a large organization are seen to continually interact with, and affect, each other. In effect, they behave collectively as a system.We'll be investigating systems thinking in this episode of the HRchat pod!Bill's guest is Melissa Daimler, Chief Learning Officer of Udemy, a leading destination for learning and teaching online.
