A useful way of thinking about problems that involve complex adaptive systems
Biases to overcome through Systems Thinking
- Stop assuming that the problem is “out there”
- This leads us to look for a quick fix solution
- It shifts the focus outside rather than inside the System
- moving beyond cause and effect relationships
- shifts focus from analysing stable states to analysing transient processes
- more data and better models will not solve all uncertainties
Ways to Influence a System (in order of importance)
- System Paradigms
- System Goals
- Reinforcing Feedback Loops
- balancing feedback loops
- Physical Structure
