What
Is Systems Thinking?
Systems
Thinking is based on Systems Dynamics, a field introduced over 40 years
ago by Jay Forrester at MIT.
Systems
Thinking is a language used to model the behavior of complex systems that
makes them easier to understand, explain, and interact with.
Examples
of situations where Systems Thinking has proven its value include problems:
- Involving
people or groups with different opinions and agendas
- Having
been made worse by past attempts to fix them
- Having
a significant difference between the short-term and long-term benefits
- Having
either no right answer or the solutions are not obvious
