System Thinking

 System thinking recognizes that changes to one part of a system can have ripple effects on other parts of the system, and that these effects may not be immediately apparent. As a result, system thinking requires a holistic, long-term perspective and a willingness to consider multiple perspectives and feedback loops.

Three types of problems 

Characteristics of  a complex problems:   

                                                         

 1..Definability

    Complicated problems are easy to define, complex problems are not           existence of unknowns.

 2.   Reducibility

    Complicated problems can be broken down in to parts, but complex          problems cannot.

3.. Predictability

   The outcome of a complicated problem can be predicted, but not in the     case with complex problems

4.   Solvability

  Complicated problems can be solved, but complex problems only can be  addressed.

 

 

How to solved problems?    

    How we think determines  how we see the world around us. It also determines our course of action.                                        

 

There are two different ways of thinking:

1.Liner Thinking

Linear thinking is an approach to problem-solving that involves breaking down a problem into its individual components and addressing each component separately, in a linear sequence. It involves focusing on cause-and-effect relationships and applying a step-by-step approach to find a solution.

Linear thinking assumes that the problem is well-defined and that the cause-and-effect relationships between the different components are clear and easily identifiable. It assumes that the solution can be found through a logical and linear sequence of steps, without taking into account the complexity or dynamic nature of the problem.

2. Non Liner Thinking 

Non-linear thinking is an approach to problem-solving that recognizes the complexity and interdependence of systems and the importance of feedback loops and emergent properties. It is a way of thinking that goes beyond simple cause-and-effect relationships and recognizes the non-linear
