WE ARE LIVING IN INTERCONNECTED WORLD Whole systems are composed

of systems, the basic unit, which comprise several entities (e.g. policies, processes, practices and people) and may be broken down into further sub-systems.

Most of the projects in an organization some of the other way they depend each others.

We Can not ignore the whole and focus on parts

SYSTEMS OF SYSTEMS look at wholes instead of parts,

at processes instead of substances.

Look at the boundary and how they effect each other

Systems are more than total of parts

ANTI SYSTEMS THINKING Need to think as a whole not in

parts

Through parts we can not transform the whole without understanding the whole

The emphasis should be on Whole

SEEING THE BEYOND Using the principles of systems

thinking will offer us new ways of seeing and of interpreting what we see

SILOS BREAKING AND BUILDING COMMON RELEASE Think like whole systems, we

can not think only about the parts

Create a collaborative problem solving approach so that high impact interventions can be developed

SYSTEM THINKING FOLLOW GROWTH MINDSET Coaches are flexible to change

the mindset as an when they foresee changes

Increase Teamwork and group problem solving. No more “My "job, “Our” job

BREAKING ORGANIZATIONAL SILOS Thinking for others

ORGANIZATION AS A LARGE SYSTEM Individual behaviors co-evolve

as individuals interact with system dynamics.

If we want to change individual or local behaviors, we have to tune into these system-wide influences
