Systems Thinking
• Systems theory and systems thinking suggest that a system as
a whole has properties, behaviours, and characteristics that
emerge from the interaction of the components of that system.
• These factors are not predictable from an understanding of the
components alone.
• In the context of systems theory, the term system includes the
people involved, the interactions between them, the external
forces affecting their behaviour, and all other relevant elements
and factors.
Understanding how the people, processes, and technology within
an organization interact allows system architects, developers, and
engineers to provide holistic solutions to problems.
