Systems thinking verses future thinking in solving problems quickly

Systems thinking unique approach to problem solving, in which he examines some of the “problems” as part of the overall system so focusing on these outcomes is further only will unwanted item or issue. Systems thinking framework will be based on the belief component part of a system will act differently when the systems relationships are removed and it is viewed in isolation. Systems thinking verses future thinking in solving problems quickly can affect many things.

The only way to fully understand why a problem or element occurs and persist should see a part with respect to the whole. Stand in contrast to Descartes, Scientific reductionism and philosophical analysis it offers a view of the system in a holistic image. Compatible with philosophy of systems, systems thinking classify an understanding of the system by examining the leverage and the interaction between forces of nature are the completeness of the system. The case of the dropped CD, how, when, where and why.

The system thinker looks at the dropped CD and contemplates all elements of reasoning such as why the CD fell, how the disc will get back up, what did part did gravity play in this whole scheme and millions of other thoughts rather than simply bending over and picking it up.

Systems thinking attempts to illustrate that the cases are separated by distance and time, and that small catalytic cases can cause large changes in integrated systems. Confirming that the improvement in one area of the system can adversely affect another area of the system, it increases Organizational at all levels to avoid effect of silo. Systems thinking methods can be used to study any kind of system – naturally, science, engineered, humanly or schematically. What affects will bending over to retrieve the CD have on the man?

All the while he sits and ponders the problem of the dropped CD the issues compound verses the futurist thinking approach that has several tenets:

Interdependence objects and their attributes – regardless of the elements can never form a system
Holism – emergent properties possible to detect by analysis be possible to determine the holistic approach
Sought goal – Systemic interaction should lead to a certain position or purpose of final results
Inputs and Outputs – In a closed system inputs due to time and constant, in open system Additional input signals are kept out of the environment
Transformation inputs into outputs – this is the process of goal obtained
Entropy – The number of disorder or randomness in any system hierarchy
Adjustment – Method Feedback will be required for the system to operate predictably
Hierarchy – Complex wholes composed of smaller subsystems
Differentiation – Specialized units perform specialized functions
Equifinality – Other ways to achieve the same objectives (convergence)
Multifinality – Achieving other objectives from the same input signal (the difference)

Some examples:

Rather than attempting using the system thinking to improve the floor system of the building by looking in great detail on the material composition of carpet (reductionism), border floor system can be extended to include interactions between all elements and the dropped CD:

Carpet and padding
Sub flooring
hydraulics and bounce
droppers reaction time
shoes and restrictive clothing
alertness conditions
weather
time of day

Using the Future thinking approach to solve the problem of dropped soap quickly such as “what time is dinner” and was able to be considered that there was:
The future think see the dilemma of dropped soap as an obstacle rather than a need to solve the reason. Looking at the soap as a hurdle to obtain future results such as food, allows her to forcefully and quickly bend over and pick up the slippery soap.

“Food waiting” from the perspective of always hungry
“Distribution system” from the perspective of suppliers that McDonald’s may close if delay
“Employment system” from the perspective of workers who may go home early
“System of supply of materials” from the perspective of what if I take too long and they run out of food
“detainment system” from the perspective of loiterers that get in line in front of you
“Social order” from the perspective of local residents that know to stay out of my way may dissolve
“Dating system” from the perspective of individual clients if I am late perhaps missing the love of my life

As a result of such thinking, new insights can be seen of dropped soap vs. floor, why it has problems as it could be improved or made changes to one component of the system delays may impact the other components such as a missed meal. Systems thinking verses future thinking in solving problems quickly depends on the needs of the individual and desire to move forward.
