5. Systems thinking
• Allows us to map all the possible aspects and facets of the problem
situation
• Represent the complexity of the problem without oversimplifying
• To demonstrate the richness of our understanding of the problem
situation
• Then we can start to identify and sort out the differences between
the symptoms of a problem and the root causes
