Systems Thinking and Beyond
by Dr Joseph Kasser
The AI team take a deep dive into successful innovative tools, practical and conceptual applications of systems thinking and beyond and systems engineering to various types of problems, summarizing the concepts behind the successes and usually drawing general conclusions for how the concepts may be used in other situations. The opinions expressed by the AI team in each deep dive are their own and have not been edited in any way.While systems thinking provides an understanding of the problematic situation, you need to go beyond systems thinking to create solutions, especially innovative solutions.Join my LinkedIn group (Tackling complex problems) and discuss the content of the podcasts (https://www.linkedin.com/groups/13991392/)
