Do you find your organization misses opportunities because of cross functional misunderstandings? This workshop addresses the growing reliance on specialists and knowledge silos in organizations, which often leads to communication breakdowns and can be detrimental to successful strategies. By utilizing insights from the book "5th Discipline" and the technique of Causal Loop Diagramming, the workshop aims to preemptively solve these issues. Participants will engage in drawing and comparing causal loop diagrams at their tables, fostering new insights and receiving feedback. This workshop is particularly beneficial for cross-functional colleagues, but individual participants will also find it valuable. It offers a deep dive into understanding complex adaptive systems within organizations, highlighting cause and effect patterns that improve the performance of typically separately managed systems. By identifying and addressing second order effects, the workshop aims to alleviate the pain and confusion arising from these interactions. This is for any experience level. This can be helpful as a retro or a organizational strategy tool. Come alone or with your colleagues! This workshop can be done as a single individual or as a group if you attend with coworkers.
