here, Describe and analyze the system or problem under investigation, unpacking the dynamics involved, exploring how events are linked and the emergent meanings or themes using diagrams where appropriate

The workshop for this subject has introduced various tools and models to enable you to apply a systemic thinking approach to your practice. The purpose of this assignment is to demonstrate your ability to use systems thinking, diagnosis and modelling tools to address issues arising in projects

to manage them better.

Apply one or more of the systems methodologies discussed at the block workshop to the analysis

of a problem at your workplace (or a workplace you are familiar with), in a project management or business context, and present a way forward to improve the situation. The methodologies used at the workshop are System Dynamics Models, Soft Systems Methodology and Viable Systems Model.

• Provide a brief description of the system/ problem under investigation and the context (max

250 words)

• Describe and analyze the system or problem under investigation, unpacking the dynamics involved, exploring how events are linked and the emergent meanings or themes using diagrams where appropriate (max 1000 words) – 25 marks

• Explain what insights and/or solutions the methodology (ies) provide(s). You may like to ask questions such as – Does the system have a viable continuing role? Is the system capable of adapting to changes? Is the system working as it was intended providing the expected benefits to its stakeholders? (max 750 words) – 20 marks.

• Evaluate the potential of the methodology (ies) used in your work as a project manager

(max  500 words) – 15 marks

• List of references used

Marks will be allocated to reflect

• Rigour demonstrated in the analysis
• Ability to critique the use of systems thinking in practice
• Use of relevant literature with appropriate referencing
• Ability to relate to present or past experience
