For a 2 hours course covering basics of systems thinking , this course overdelivered :-) was expertly delivered, course objectives were very clear , content and assessments was designed to meet the learning objectives. Facilitator was fluent, articulate and cases used were powerful enough to grasp key points. Even though the course says it is 2 hours , I personally took more than 8 hours as I found a lot of interesting points that I was excited to delve deeper into. Convinced that this course is pivotal in doing more advanced courses in Systems Thinking .
