Gain thinking skills to navigate real-world complexities

What is Unorganized Complexity ?

Unorganized complexity involves problems with numerous parts acting unpredictably, making individual behaviour difficult to predict.

For example, traffic flow dynamics, influenced by various factors like driver decisions and road conditions, can be understood through statistical models that consider the collective behaviour of many drivers and vehicles. These situations are managed using statistics and probability due to their inherent unpredictability.

Additional Glossary Terms

Black Box

A black box is a system where only the inputs (what goes in) and outputs (what comes out) are observed, focusing on its behaviour without examining how it works inside.

Structure

In systems thinking, structure refers to the arrangement of parts within a system, the relationships among them and the rules, laws, procedures, and policies that govern those interactions. The structure

Emergent Properties

Emergent properties refer to characteristics of a system that are not just the result of the behaviour of its individual parts. These properties arise from the interactions among the parts,

Method

Method or technique refers to the concrete steps or tools used to implement the methodology. Method is associated with the specific systems approach and concerned with achieving more specific procedural

Uncertainity

Uncertainty is a state of unpredictability or lack of certainty about future events, outcomes, or situations due to incomplete, ambiguous, or misunderstood information. This condition makes accurate prediction or decision-making

Systemic Thinking

Systemic thinking is a holistic approach that emphasizes the interconnectedness of a system’s parts, recognizing their context and interactions within the whole. It acknowledges multiple perspectives and nonlinear patterns, focusing
