Learning systems thinking can be quite challenging. Systems thinking community is divided into two schools of thought when it comes to learning systems thinking. The first school prioritizes acquiring a basic understanding of systems thinking and leaves the application up to practitioners. The second school, on the other hand, emphasizes utilizing available methodologies for application.

We believe that both paradigms are valid, and the best way to learn systems thinking is to start with the fundamental concepts and then delve into the available methodologies. Our certification path reflects this approach.
