About this course

The world is experiencing a polycrisis of interconnected challenges in climate, health, jobs and equity. This causes people to feel overwhelmed and disempowered.

OnePlanet’s Systems Connector™ training will help you Reimagine your own role in your work and provide you with a practical tool to drive change within your organisation or with clients, and externally with their wider ecosystem of stakeholders.

The online training is run in two sessions in small groups, with a maximum of 8 people in attendance.

Upon completion, participants are invited to undergo an assessment to become a Certified OnePlanet Systems Connector™ which enables you to have your own profile on the OnePlanet platform.

We learned about the principles of systems thinking - and how using IT-based tools and approaches can offer new ways to plan and develop solutions. It was also really valuable to consider the different aspects of what it takes to be an effective systems connector. It was definitely time well spent!

Thanks to the OnePlanet Systems Connector accreditation, I now have this tool in my pack to take forward. I would love to bring this approach into future projects. But I also want to encourage others to discover it for themselves.

I thoroughly enjoyed being on this Systems Connector training course, and am looking forward to deepening the connections I made with my fellow students.
