| Abstract: | Systems thinking, the systems approach or systems science is inherently about understanding relationships. Two systemic relationships that the author has been particularly interested in are related to each other in a critically important way. The first relationship of interest is the one between systems thinking and design action. Systems and design are two terms that are often conjoined, as in systems design. A fundamental characteristic of the relationship between the two, the author believes, is that system thinking is the logic of design. The second relationship of interest is the one that is formed between systems designers and those who are members of the social systems in which systems practitioners obtain or assume agency. |
