Donella Meadows Thinking In Systems

Published after Donella Meadow's death, it introduces Systems Thinking by way of definition, illustration and application. In Part 1, System Structure and Behaviour, Meadows uses two graphical tools to analyse systems: stock and flow diagrams to show system structure; and charts mapping stock or flow levels over time to explore system behaviour for specific scenarios. In “Thinking in Systems”, Donella Meadows explains how we can use systems-thinking to understand how things work, identify root problem causes, see new opportunities, make better decisions and adapt to changing circumstances. In this Thinking in Systems summary, we’ll outline the concepts, principles and real-life applications for systems.

In the words of biologist Julian Huxley, 'Life is just one damn relatedness after another.' Thinking in Systems will help you understand the complex interrelationships that are present in the world and the ramifications of those interrelationships.

'Systems thinking' has been used as a business management fad in recent history, which is a shame - there are many useful concepts to explore in this area, and Thinking in Systems explains them admirably. In this book, you'll learn major concepts like inflows and outflows, feedback loops, non-linearity, constraints, escalation, and resilience, as well as gain a better understanding of how systems tend to change over time.

All businesses are complex systems that operate within even more complex systems: industries and societies. If you want to be able to improve systems while avoiding unanticipated consequences, read Thinking in Systems.
