System Thinking -
Looking at the events in an organization and seeing the pattern of complex
relationships from a broad perspective, rather than just the events
themselves.
This
broad view helps to identify and pinpoint the real causes of
problems so that solutions will be targeted and effective.
This is helpful in resolving:
Complex problems that involve
helping many individuals see the "big picture" and not just
their part of it.
Recurring problems or those that
have been made worse by past attempts to fix them.
Issues where an action affects (or
is affected by) the environment surrounding the issue, either
the natural environment or the competitive environment.
