Systems Thinking is a mental model that aims to understand how things influence one another within a whole. It emphasizes holistic analysis over separate parts.
Systems Thinking involves examining the relationships and context within which something exists. For instance, rather than just looking at a car's engine in isolation, systems thinking would consider how the engine interacts with the car's other systems - the electrical system, the exhaust system, etc., and how these systems influence each other. Systems Thinking approach can be widely used in problem-solving, conflict resolution, and comprehensive decision-making in various fields like business, education, environment, health, etc.
There are no separate systems. The world is a continuum. Where to draw a boundary around a system depends on the purpose of the discussion.
