Problem Solving Using Non-Linear Systems Thinking presents a five stage model of problem solving that uses the fundamentals of Peter Senge's systems thinking to find solutions and to enhance decision-making. This powerful methodology teaches you how to identify defeating aspects of quick fixes and how to create long-term solutions. This approach demonstrates that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts, and that total system collaboration is the key to high performance.
