Most workplace challenges don't persist because people lack effort or good ideas. They persist because they're part of a system.
In this interactive session, adjunct lecturer Bhasker Natarajan will propose a real-world AI adoption scenario and help you discover why well-intentioned solutions often create unexpected consequences. Rather than teaching systems thinking as a theory, this session lets you experience it firsthand. You'll leave with a practical lens for examining recurring challenges in your own work and a simple habit you can immediately apply when asking: "why does the system keep producing this?"
Whether you're leading teams, managing change, implementing new technology, or navigating complex organizational challenges, you'll gain a new way to identify leverage points and make better decisions in an increasingly interconnected world. You'll learn how to spot patterns behind recurring problems, uncover the connections and feedback loops driving them, and identify opportunities to create meaningful change in your work and life.
This session reflects the Bentley approach: learning not by memorizing frameworks, but by applying them to real-world problems.
