Traditional thinking views a problem in isolated parts, each part as linear having a cause and effect that is managed. Systems thinking recognizes that a complex system managed in the traditional way will result in unintended consequences and enhance complexity instead of resolving the problem.
- Provide an example of a problem in any context, i.e. environmental, social, educational, or financial.
- Explain the problem in a traditional approach with a linear cause and effect as well as how it can be resolved.
