The Role of Creativity in System Dynamics and Systems Thinking

Join us for a thought-provoking discussion led by internationally renowned expert Dennis Sherwood, as we explore the concept of creativity in System Dynamics and Systems Thinking. We’ll delve into questions such as what precisely creativity is, how it differs from related concepts, and whether it’s just a natural attribute or a skill that can be learned, practiced, and enriched.

In this webinar, you’ll gain a deeper understanding of the role of creativity in System Dynamics and systems thinking and learn about:

  • The differences between creativity and related concepts such as discovery, invention, innovation, entrepreneurship, and design thinking
  • Whether creativity can be developed and enriched as a skill
  • The concept of “goodness” in ideas and how it relates to creativity
  • The potential impact of AI on human creativity

Gain valuable insights into the role of creativity in your projects. Register today!
