Learn one of the most essential skills to be successful in this decade: Systems Thinking
- Do you notice how the world around us is becoming increasingly complex and the problems you need to solve more and more challenging?
- Are you tired of running into the same issues again and again, but don’t know how to find a solution that finally works?
- Have you heard about Systems Thinking as a key discipline that elevates your thinking and improves your problem solving, but you never found the time to learn about it?
Systems Thinking for Beginners introduces you to this profound but very practical approach to business and life in a simple and practical way.
If you are new to Systems Thinking but don’t have the time to read a complex, academic textbook, this easy-to-read guide is for you.
You will learn everything you need to know to see the world through the eyes of a Systems Thinker and to apply the Systems Thinking toolkit to find solutions that work in your professional and everyday life.
Start finding sustainable solutions and avoid unintended consequences
Systems Thinking has become an invaluable tool for private and not-for-profit organisations. It is an approach to problem-solving that is grounded on the principle that we are surrounded by interconnected systems. Practically anything can be looked at as a system: the people we live with, the company we work for, and the community we reside in. Systems Thinkers understand that problems in these systems cannot be solved in isolation.
This comprehensive guide will teach you:
- The unique tools Systems Thinkers have developed that allow you to recognize systems and understand how all their parts work together
- How systems respond to changing conditions and how they can adjust on their own
- How to use diagrams to illustrate common problem patterns that Systems Thinkers have shown crop up repeatedly in business, politics, and personal life
- How you can optimise the systems around you and become more successful in your professional and everyday life
You will also learn:
- A wide range of graphical tools Systems Thinkers use to help them understand and communicate
- Many real-life examples of systems, how they work and why they might break down
- How to unpack some knotty social issues and how you might use systems thinking to zero in on underlying causes and find solutions
This book will provide you with a new mindset that will help you to notice the details that matter, and at the same time, help you develop an appreciation for the larger picture in a way that is very grounded to real-life situations.

Store description
In 2002, World of Books Group was founded on an ethos to do good, protect the planet and support charities by enabling more goods to be reused. Since then, we've grown into to a global company pioneering the circular economy. Today, we drive the circular economy through three re-commerce brands: - Wob: Through Wob, we sell. We provide affordable, preloved books and media to customers all over the world. A book leaves our collection of over seven million titles and begins a new chapter every two seconds, enabling more goods to be reused. - Ziffit: Through Ziffit, we buy. We give people around the world the opportunity to contribute to the circular economy, earn money and protect the planet, by trading their unwanted books and media. - Shopiago: Through Shopiago, we help others. By sharing the technology that has grown World of Books Group into the business it is today, we’re helping charities increase revenue and reduce waste through re-commerce.…
