Risk Management by Systems Thinking

Systems Science provides you with the best tools to manage your risks and enhance sustainability. Regulators and governments demand more compliance to an ever growing number of rules and laws are deemed necessary to protect life and the environment.

Fact is that regulations, rules or compliance enforcement impair an organization’ functioning. The success and sustainability of a business or other organizations are not only determined by financial or economic performance, but also by a good reputation which can only be earned by acting socially, environmentally and humanly responsible. Rules and regulations become guidelines.

This workshop introduces Systems Science as a way of being comprehensive while managing complexity. When we learn to see business and life as networks within natural systems and understand interrelation and interdependence with these natural systems, risks are minimized. Sustainability is not feasible without systems thinking. The start of sustainability is understanding what your impact on reality is. You will be taught how to condense Integrated Reporting into a manageable form.
