Offering a pathway to vibrant organizations, this book integrates systems
thinking, critical thinking, and design thinking and provides the tools needed
to apply them proactively in the social systems where we live and work., Systemic thinking—the combination of systems thinking, critical thinking,
and design thinking—provides a way of addressing the complexity of problems
faced by public sector managers. Far too often, systemic thinking has been
discussed theoretically rather than practically. This book changes that, enabling
public sector managers and leaders to connect staff, partners, and stakeholders in
the pursuit of thoughtfully designed and responsive service. Clearly written and
designed to be put to immediate use on the job, each chapter provides a discussion
of a specific practice. Included are guiding principles, a case study, relevant
practical tools, and suggestions for additional practice and reading. Using this book, managers of social systems such as child welfare, healthcare,
public schools and libraries, housing and community development, and students
of public administration will gain a deeper understanding of organizational
systems and design and a new toolkit to fortify their own organizations.
