Solving the Right Problem: A Systems Thinking Approach to Smart Decisions

Smart decisions begin with clearly identifying and defining the right question, the relevant stakeholders, and the supporting data. By applying operations analysis and systems thinking, organisations can clarify and reframe problems, select the most appropriate analytical methods, and identify leverage points – avoiding costly fixes that fail to address root causes. This session will unpack the typical analysis cycle, showing how structured decision support enables smart decisions with clarity and confidence.
