Looking to the Future

Chapter Chapter 6 in Design and Diagnosis for Sustainable Organizations, 2012, pp 217-219 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract Throughout these five chapters we have reflected on the complexity facing organisations and companies, and also society in general, as a result of the rapid, profound changes of all kinds (economic, political, energy, climatic, sociological, technological, etc.) taking place worldwide. In addition, we have mentioned the various schools which, within the framework of what is known as the systemic approach or Systems Thinking, have been springing up and evolving during the second half of the twentieth century and continue to do so today. Similarly, we have stressed the need to use this systemic approach if we wish to deploy tools with sufficient capacity to at least provide some comprehensive visualisation of the enormous complexity involved in such changes. We have also indicated some of the situations for which the different schools or systemic approaches may be of use.
