This is the first assignment for PADM 5449 Fall 2020.

Challenge #1: Teach the Basics Challenge: Teaching others is often the best way to learn. Designing documents or media for dissemination to the general public (public understanding) is one of the best ways to gain a deep understanding of course concepts. In this challenge, use any media such as an infographic/poster PDF, a video, or short written 2-3 page primer to develop a short professional quality artifact that helps a newcomer to understand one of the following:

• Evolution of the field of systems thinking;
• The connections among VUCA & LAMO, the ST Iceberg, ST Loop;
• The simple rules of Systems Thinking (DSRP) & complex adaptive systems (CAS); or
• The composition of mental models (M=IxT).

Be sure to explain things in simple terms and be creative! Your Challenge should be at least as good as the sample. (Links to an external site.)
