Systems Thinking. For Better Decisions And Organizational Change: An Executive Guide for Leaders, Managers and Analysts

By Juan Martín García

Edition 2026

This is a practical guide to understanding complex business problems and turning insight into effective action. Written for leaders, managers, consultants and professionals, the book explains how to identify hidden interdependencies, feedback loops, delays, unintended consequences and leverage points that shape organizational performance. It provides clear tools for mapping business situations, improving decisions, testing strategies and managing change more effectively.

Practical applications cover strategy, leadership, performance measurement, innovation, operations, supply chains, marketing, workforce planning, projects, risk and organizational resilience. The book also explores how simulation, digital twins and artificial intelligence can support better managerial judgement.

Rather than offering abstract theory, this guide helps readers diagnose real problems, avoid short-term solutions that create new difficulties and design interventions that produce more sustainable results.
