Systems Thinking?


Systems thinking is defined as "a way of thinking about, and a language for describing and understanding, the forces and interrelationships that shape the behaviours of systems. This discipline helps us to see how to change systems more effectively, and to act more in tune with the larger processes of the natural and economic world." (p6, The Fifth Discpline Field Book, 1994). Within this book (mentioned above), Systems Thinking is listed as one of five disciplines that is the core of learning organizations (Personal Mastery, Mental Models, Shared Vision, Team Learning and Systems Thinking).
