The Systems Movement

The Systems Movement is an interdisciplinary approach that emerged in the mid-20th century, focusing on understanding and managing complex systems. Instead of examining individual parts in isolation, it emphasizes the relationships and interactions between components within a whole. This perspective is applied across various fields, including biology, engineering, and social sciences, to address problems in a more holistic way. By recognizing that systems can exhibit behaviors and properties that differ from simply adding up their parts, it helps individuals and organizations better navigate challenges and optimize processes.
