Systems Thinking - An introduction

Systems Thinking - An introduction

This meetup will cover the basics of systems thinking and systems science; the building block towards an understanding of complexity and chaos theory.

We'll cover topics such as:

• What are Systems?
• The mechanistic and the systemic worldview
• How we do talk about and describe Systems?
• When was Systems Thinking first created?
• What are its applications today?
• What tools can we use to map Systems?

Come and join us in the end of an afternoon in an innovative coworking space in Porto. There's a small fee required to cover the costs of the venue.

"If a factory is torn down but the rationality which produced it is left standing, then that rationality will simply produce another factory. If a revolution destroys a government, but the systematic patterns of thought that produced that government are left intact, those patterns will repeat themselves… There’s so much talk about the systems and so little understanding."
