There is no question that the revolutionary changes we face in today's global world is creating tremendous shifts in our lives, our institutions and our organisations.
While these changes bring benefits to our lives, they also bring chaos and problems into our society.
To solve these problems, many of us use analytical thinking. We break down the problems into their smallest elements and attempt to solve each one separately. But this does not give long-term solutions as the elements are interlinked. Changing one will affect another.
By shifting to systems thinking, we move away from seeing single or isolated elements, structures, functions and events, to seeing the processes in which they inter-relate with one another. It is through this process of thinking that will help us find more effective and longer-term solutions to our complex problems.
From an early age, we are taught to break apart problems in order to make complex
tasks and subjects easier to deal with. But this creates a bigger problem. We lose the ability to see
the consequences of our actions and we lose a sense of connection to a larger whole.
