What is Systems Thinking?
Systems thinking is a way of seeing the world that focuses on relationships that exist between system parts. The structures that define the relationships determine the behavior of the system. The behaviors of systems are viewed as patterns or trends that unfold over time versus a series of discrete events. It is a way of thinking and a language for describing how things work.

Characteristics of Systems
• Parts
• Relationships
• Dynamics
• Goals
A system is a collection of elements that interact with each other over time to function as a whole.

What is a Systems Thinker
Habits of a Systems Thinker• Seeks to understand the big picture• Observes how elements within systems change over time, generating patterns and trends• Recognizes that a system’s structure generates its behavior• Pays attention to accumulations and their rates of change• Makes meaningful connections within and between systems• Identifies the circular nature of complex cause and effect relationships• Changes perspectives to increase understanding• Surfaces and tests assumptions• Considers an issue fully and resists the urge to come to a quick conclusion• Considers how mental models affect current reality and the future• Uses understanding of system structure to identify possible leverage actions• Considers short-term, long-term and unintended consequences of actions• Recognizes the impact of time delays when exploring cause and effect relationships• Checks results and changes actions if needed: “successive approximation”

Mental Models
Mental models are deeply held beliefs, assumptions, generalizations, or even images that influence how we understand the world and how we take action.
