Systems Thinking Essentials - Understanding Complexity

Systems Thinking Essentials - Understanding Complexity

Systems thinking is an approach to understanding complex systems by looking at how individual parts interact and influence one another within the whole. Instead of focusing on isolated components, systems thinking emphasizes the interrelationships, patterns, and feedback loops that shape the behaviour of the entire system. It encourages a holistic perspective, where changes in one part of the system can have ripple effects throughout. This method is particularly useful in analysing complex problems, predicting unintended consequences, and finding leverage points where small actions can lead to significant, lasting improvements.
