ST Definition
• “Systems thinking is a discipline for seeing wholes. It is a framework for seeing interrelationships rather than things, for seeing patterns of change rather than static “snapshots.”
The Fifth Discipline, The Art and Practice of the Learning Organization, Senge, (Doubleday: 1990)

ST Tenets
• Interdependence of objects and their attributes - independent elements can never constitute a system
http://graphics.stanford.edu/papers/flow_map_layout/uk-interdependence.jpg
![Page 11: Systems Thinking - CODESystems Thinking: sometimes a box is just a box CODE Webinar 1 29 September 2008 3:00 - 4:00 PM](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051808/600c54456f0b0554432d822e/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
ST Tenets
• Holism - emergent properties not possible to detect by analysis should be possible to define by a holistic approach
http://abyss.uoregon.edu/~js/images/holism.gif
![Page 12: Systems Thinking - CODESystems Thinking: sometimes a box is just a box CODE Webinar 1 29 September 2008 3:00 - 4:00 PM](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051808/600c54456f0b0554432d822e/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
ST Tenets
• Goal seeking - systemic interaction must result in some goal or final state
"Man is a goal seeking animal. His life only has meaning if he is reaching out and striving for his goals.-- Aristotle
http://www.betterworld.net/quotes/perseverance-quotes.htm
![Page 13: Systems Thinking - CODESystems Thinking: sometimes a box is just a box CODE Webinar 1 29 September 2008 3:00 - 4:00 PM](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051808/600c54456f0b0554432d822e/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
ST Tenets
• Inputs and Outputs - in a closed system inputs are determined once and constant; in an open system additional inputs are admitted from the environment

ST Tenets
• Transformation of inputs into outputs - this is the process by which the goals are obtained

ST Tenets
• Entropy - the amount of disorder or randomness present in any system

ST Tenets
• Hierarchy - complex wholes are made up of smaller subsystems

ST Tenets
• Differentiation - specialized units perform specialized functions

ST Tenets
• Equifinality - alternative ways of attaining the same objectives (convergence)

ST Tenets
• Multifinality - attaining alternative objectives from the same inputs (divergence)

Long Time Coming - It’s Complex
The typical large business 20 years hence …will bear little resemblance to the typical manufacturing company, circa 1950…it is far more likely to resemble organizations (like) the hospital, the university, the symphony orchestra…an organization composed largely of specialists who direct and discipline their own performance through organized feedback
Peter Drucker, Harvard Business Review,
The Coming of the New Organization, 1988.

So what about Education?

Reculturing
• How to work with a “systems” perspective when we are in silos.
• Reculturing is the name of the gameFullan, M. (200 1). Leading in a culture of change.
San Francisco: Jossey-Bass
![Page 33: Systems Thinking - CODESystems Thinking: sometimes a box is just a box CODE Webinar 1 29 September 2008 3:00 - 4:00 PM](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051808/600c54456f0b0554432d822e/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Reculturing
• Reculturing is the main work of leadership, and it requires an underlying conceptualization of the key elements that feed it. Moral purpose is more than passionate teachers trying to make a difference in their classrooms. It's also the context of the school and district in which they work. That means principals have to be almost as concerned about the success of other schools in the district as they are about their own schools.
