Why a systems approach to innovation is critical

『Why a systems approach to innovation is critical』

The essence of systems thinking is to focus on the whole. The parts are no longer the primary focus. The parts are essential, but what is more important is the interrelationship between the parts as they work together to fulfill the purpose of the whole system.

That process, known as analytical thinking, makes the parts primary and the whole secondary. In systems thinking, the whole is primary and the parts, secondary. This is not only a holistic and strategic way of viewing an organization, it can transform the way people interact.
