  • Finally, you will learn how to become an agent of change. You will teach others to use mental models to drive cultural change, stimulate growth and make positive strategic choices.
  • You will develop an approach to ensure that the incorporation of mental models into day-to-day operations will result in systematic change throughout your organisation.
