Deadline for applications: 10th May 2026
But here is the uncomfortable truth: Smart systems don't automatically create better outcomes.
Many organizations today struggle because their systems are:
- powerful, but disconnected from reality
- efficient, but not sustainable
- intelligent, but not aligned with the bigger picture
This course introduces a new way of thinking about technology, sustainable, and decision-making:
- Systematic Systems Thinking (SST) powering the Next Level Thinking
- Team Project Based Edu model: 21st EWA Edu
- Sustainability Accounting
You will learn how to recognize when systems are:
- too focused on data and performance
- too focused on context without real capabilit
- and more importantly - how to rebalance them - even physically, through a hands-on balance-board workshop
What makes this programme different
You will:
- work with real-world cases
- collaborate in international teams
- learn from industry experts and sustainability consultants
- apply a new research-based framework in practice
- experience systems thinking not only intellectually - but physically
Why this matters
The future will not be shaped by those who build the smartest systems.
- when systems are out of balance
- how to bring them back
