Whole Systems Thinking

Whole Systems Thinking is an approach that considers a problem or situation as part of a larger, interconnected system. Instead of focusing only on immediate issues, it looks at how different parts—people, processes, environment—interact and influence each other. This perspective helps identify root causes and long-term solutions by understanding relationships and patterns within the whole system. It’s like viewing a forest, not just individual trees, to better manage and improve the overall health and balance of the ecosystem.
