Impacting Credibility

Systems Thinking 

Systems Thinking is a holistic approach to analysis that focuses on the way that a system's constituent parts interrelate and how systems work over time and within the context of larger systems. The systems thinking approach contrasts with traditional analysis, which studies systems by breaking them down into their separate elements.

To engage a work team in changing workplace culture- or in thinking differently, you have to first show people how they fit into the big picture. Once people understand that they have some control over aspects of various systems, this changes how they see themselves and how they see the world. Systems thinking enables people to have a broader world view.
