A Manager's Guide to Applying Systems Thinking.
This new and well-written book will give you all the tools and techniques you need, with many practical examples as diverse as managing a busy back office, negotiating an outsourcing deal and formulating business strategy.
Systems thinking can help you tame the complexity of real world problems by providing a structured way of balancing a broad, overall view with the selection of the right level of detail, truly allowing you to "see the forest for the trees".
Only by taking a broad view can we avoid the twin dangers of a silo mentality - in which a fix "here" simply shifts the problem to "there" - and organisational myopia - in which a fix "now" gives rise to a much bigger problem to fix "then".
