Systems thinking allows us to reframe issues in novel ways and consider alternative solutions. At the same time, the principles of systems thinking make us aware that there are no perfect solutions; the choices we make will have an impact on other parts of the system. By anticipating the impact of each trade-off, we can minimise its severity or even use it to our own advantage. Systems thinking therefore allows us to make informed choices.Systems thinking is an analytical method that takes the whole system into account, not only its isolated pieces, but also how those parts interact with one another and how the whole evolves through time and in relation to other systems. In contrast to conventional analysis, which examines systems by dissecting them into their component parts, the systems thinking method examines the whole. Medical, environmental, political, economic, human resource, and instructional research are just some of the many fields that have benefited from the use of systems thinking.
