Course Description

Mental models are powerful frameworks that can shift how we view and interact with life. They create an increase in objectivity and thus assist our capacity to navigate complexity and make better decisions. The more mental models we have access to, the greater sense we can make of the world and our place in it. In this course, you will learn a powerful suite of mental models that are applicable to a range of contexts.  



Audience

This course is designed for anyone who deals with complex situations. It is perfect for school leaders and management but is equally at home in the classroom as a thinking suite of tools for teachers or students.


Teaching Standards
