On completing this course, participants will be able to:

• Understand the nature of complex adaptive systems and incorporate the lessons of Complexity Theory into their work.
• Conceptualize and implement new approaches to planning, development, implementation, management, and budgeting that are sensitive to the true nature of complex adaptive systems.
• Avoid the dead ends, traps, and failure modes that derive from our misconstruing health care as a linear, predictable system.
• Refocus their further study so as to more deeply appreciate and be able to apply Complexity Theory to their work.
