Systems Thinking and Analytical Approaches in Projects

Systems Thinking in Management

Systems thinking involves a deep analysis of facts, consistency, detail, and the ability to see the particular and the general. This is when any event seems to you to be not a coincidence of random circumstances but a planned outcome. It can be used both in everyday life to solve problems of varying complexity and in work to collect and analyze data.

Application areas:

• Risk management
• Strategic management
• Innovation and problem-solving
• Personal life
