Systems Thinking 2.0
A quote from Derek Cabrera in his book Systems Thinking Made Simple: New hope for solving wicked problems is
“All problems result from the mismatch between how real systems work and how we think they work”
Cabrera’s DSRP systems thinking model is a comprehensive and adaptable method of describing and adapting the structural realities of a system. This leads to clarity of thought and new insight into how a system runs along four simple rules.
In his book, and on the research lab web site, he lays out an elegant graphical analysis system with a supporting conceptual framework. These can lead to better understanding and more important, opportunities to test and adapt the model based on the achievement of purpose.
The interested reader is urged to visit Cabrera research or read the book to fully understand the strength of this methodology.
