This is a discipline that allows us to see wholes instead of parts. They are principles that emerged from the twentieth century, which cover sciences such as physics, social, engineering, and business administration. It arises as the resolution of problems of organizations and international relations, including family and personal.
Systematic thinking is a set of techniques and tools in which it covers two main concepts: feedback and servomechanisms that have helped to understand business systems. It is a discipline to see the structures that underlie complex situations and to discern changes of high and low leverage, summing it up to the restructuring of our thinking
Systematic thinking helps build information, encourages interdependence, and drives change. It is an antidote to everything that represents impotence in every way.
Some characteristics of systematic thinking are: that it models complex systems, observes the whole, reduces problems and complex situations, opens our mind and is a model that has a circular language.
The methodology used is characterized by four steps: Global vision in which everything can be observed in a general way. The second is the balance of the short and long term in which it is carried through the path of success and will depend on the implications that arise. The third step is the Recognition of complex and interdependent dynamic systems in which, through tools, models are built for the situations under observation. And finally the Recognition of measurable and non-measurable elements, which systematic thinking drives the correct use of qualitative and quantitative indicators through an analysis of the situation.
