This group was formed in April 1993 by a small group of staff from the Department of Business Management interested in the concepts of Systems Thinking and Organisational Learning. The Group has a growing membership from the private and public sector organisations as well as academics and others from Monash and other institutions, and is now associated with the Department of Management . Membership is open to both individuals and organisations.
Concessional rates apply for students and others.
The related concepts of Systems Thinking and Organisational Learning are considered by many to be important new approaches to understanding and solving organisational problems in sustainable ways. They also have application at the broader community, societal and global levels. The use of systems thinking assists us in understanding current organisational functioning so that we can learn what works and what doesn't. It aims to provide a focus and networking point for interested persons and organisations from Australia, New Zealand and further afield. It has strong linkages with major centres of research and activity in both the United States and Europe.
