Assessment - Rich Picture, CATWOE and Root Definition Report

Learning Outcome 1: Create a visual depiction of a multi-dimensional complex situation that represents differing views

Assessment Task: We live in a dynamic world, which consists of various complex adaptive systems and requires today's managers to take a holistic view of the business. In order to gain a holistic understanding, managers need to understand all the key internal and external stakeholders and the intended and unintended consequences of their decisions. To achieve this objective, managers need to learn and apply systems thinking tools and techniques. One such tool is "Rich Picture". Rich Picture helps us express our own understanding of the world, the stakeholders to be considered and the impact that they may have our actions. Tools such as Rich Picture, CATWOE and Root Definition Reports, help us to understand others' perspectives without getting involved in conflicting arguments of convincing one another about their own worldview.
