I teach in the Executive MBA program at Baldwin Wallace College in
Cleveland. We rely extensively on a systems approach. The Systems
Management and Organization Theory class that I co-teach with a fellow
collegue uses The Fifth Discipline, Organization Theory by Robert Daft, a
umber of Russell Ackoff videos and a fair amount of system dynamics
modeling. Many classes integrate assignments and instructors frequently
sit in on other classes to facilitate continuity. We have periodic
planning meetings and "map" the entire program to ensure that upstream
courses' outputs satisfy downstream courses' input requirements.
I'm not sure this satisfies the creativity part of your inquiry but it
appears to speak to the systems thinking part.
