Ideaspark on Systemic Thinking

Pearl Zhu said "In a broader sense, systems thinking is a path to greater awareness"  and I totally agree with that. After all, we know that a bad system will beat a good person every time (Edwards Deming). We are all part of a bigger system and it is essential for us to understand that and how things relate to each other, before we look to solve any issues. I had the joy of having a short discussion on Systems thinking with three of my classmates - we are all doing a Masters in Coaching and Behavioural change and this is a topic that is really relevant to us. How can thinking systemically help you? Do share your thoughts and comments.
