Systems thinking

Systems thinking is about investigating a set of factors and interactions that are contributing to or could contribute to a possible outcome (results).


Systems thinking is a way of making sense of the complexity of the factors and interactions by looking at it in terms of wholes and relationships rather than by splitting them down into parts. It has been used as a way of exploring and developing effective action in complex contexts and enabling systems change in a whole new and effective and efficient way.
