Individual Reflection Paper

1. Purpose. The purpose of the personal reflection is to help you gain insights about what you have learned as you applied systems-thinking to the process of creating value for the organization and its stakeholders.

2. What Have You Learned? There are two learning opportunities to consider. What have you learned in general about organizational systems? Think about what you learned by using the IP Framework to analyze and understand how systems are integrated with each other and with strategy. Do not summarize specific findings, as these are detailed in your report, but you may discuss any examples that might be provided from your own organization to assist your client or lessons learned from your client that might apply to your own organization.

Then what have you learned about yourself, about effective teaming, and about managing a complex analytical project? What have you learned about leadership, what have you learned about the accomplishments achieved and challenges faced by other organizations in other sectors? Are there lessons learned about resolving challenges related either to creating the report, or to accomplishing team objectives that might apply in your own working environment?

3. What will you do differently for your next reports? It is appropriate to think about how you and your team might do things differently moving forward, and what outcomes you might expect if you change the way you work. Is there anything about yourself, your behaviors, your style that you might examine in order to be a more effective resource for your team, and ultimately for your own organization?
