Systemic thinking to master complexity!
There is no “WORLD PAUSE KEY”. We cannot simply pause our globally networked social and economic systems and then return to “normality” – whatever normality may mean, because in the meantime everything continues to function independently … Have we lost control, did we ever “control” it? Were we even able to grasp this complexity, or have we simply overtaken ourselves with globalization and digitization? How much “agility” does an organizational structure allow? Just be mobile, but turn in a circle without direction?
# Approach & modes of action
We represent the systemic approach because we see it as a valid method to grasp complexity, to master it as much as possible in order to understand how it works.
The holistic and systemic approach
We live in a global world where we have tried for decades, even centuries, to network. We succeeded quite well as long as it was continuous, i.e. evolutionary. However, new information and communication technologies of the 20th century have brought rapid progress in globalization and networking – a revolutionary era whose progressive progress brought us to the limit.
So we have integrated, and integrated, and integrated many of the “new methods” – from the Internet of Things, travel, working internationally networked, means of communication, etc. into our systems … until we have actually come to a point for several years are where you have to honestly say: Who can even grasp this complexity? Who can and wants to try to understand these modes of operation? Who else can keep up with the pace? And are the meaning / use / goal even clear to us? Do we stand by it? How global can and do we really want to think and act? What are we aiming at – which direction do we want to go?
Disruptive innovation is the challenge of our time. If we want to try to master this complexity in any way, we probably have no choice but to resort to the systemic approach, because from today’s point of view this is still the most valid model for it. For individuals and organizations.
Systemically tries to describe a system in which there are people as socially complex. The smallest complex system is the human being.
So does the first question begin? What is the system to be considered anyway? In which relevant environment is it located and is therefore influenced how and by whom? This stable system triangle …
1. How does the structure work operationally (how is it procedurally organized in terms of its structure and processes)?
2. Which people play which role ( culture ) in which function and in which position or interact with each other?
3. What is the long-term orientation of all operational thinking and action, ie which strategy is being pursued?
If only one of these three pillars – strategy, organization or culture – is unstable and unknown to the people involved, the entire system will not run efficiently. In the smallest way we understand that in our body with the principle – body, mind and soul – in organizations or systems with strategy, structure and culture. The first-level managers must also focus on the relevant environment , because this influences the system from the outside, so to speak.
Transformation means that changes take place at all levels, and therefore the entire system has to be realigned and coordinated. We can help!

The truth emerges in the eye of the beholder – based on the constructivist approach: What do you see when you look at your surroundings, what can you (for) perceive, what is observable now different or the same? Is that just your picture, or do others see it that way? Let’s look at this together.
