What is Systems Thinking?
Systems Thinking is an approach to gaining an understanding of a dynamic system through an understanding of the interaction of its parts. Studying a system from this perspective allows discovery of causal relationships, complexities, and predictive factors related to both desirable and undesirable outcomes. It is a useful tool for understanding any system ranging from scientific arenas to business management.
