What is System Thinking?
Definition
The essence of everything is the system, and the frame is the composition and law of the elements of the system. Humans can recognize things that are currently unknown by mastering the frame of the system.
System thinking is a way of thinking and expressing systematically using frames
The source of the frame
Choose from existing frameworks
PEST framework/DuPont analysis method/SMART principle based on macro environment analysis
Improve based on existing framework
Brand new construction framework
Characteristics
Integrity, structure, three-dimensionality, comprehensiveness, and dynamics. The first four characteristics are based on the "frame", and the last one is reflected by the dynamic changes in the links between the elements of the frame.
The Relations Between Normal Thinking and System Thinking
Thinking Type
Convergent thinking
definition
Also known as convergent thinking, convergent thinking, convergent thinking or concentrated thinking, induction and deduction are the core thinking methods of convergent thinking
Features
Make thinking always focus on the same direction, make thinking organized, concise, logical and regular
Types of
Inductive reasoning
Logical order of time
Indicates a logical sequence of "chronological", such as PDCA
Logical order of structure
Indicates the logical relationship between "whole and part"
Types of
The composition of specific objects
Like the composition of a person, head, limbs, body
Geographical composition
Such as East China, North China, Southwest, Northwest, etc.
The composition of abstract concepts
Like spring, summer, autumn and winter
Arrange the arguments in a structural order, follow a certain order, such as clockwise, counterclockwise, top-down, east-west, etc.
Logical order of importance
Indicates the logical relationship of "classification of similar things into one category"
The order of importance is to find the common characteristics of a class of things, and then organize the arguments in accordance with the order of the strong and weak embodied by the common characteristics
Deductive reasoning
Deduction is a process from general to special, that is, based on a known general law (major premise), a process of substituting a special premise (minor premise) to draw a specific conclusion
The correctness of deductive reasoning is based on 3 foundations
The universal law represented by the major premise is absolutely correct
Minor premise is a special case of the subject or object of the major premise
The judgment to derive the conclusion meets the necessary and sufficient conditions
Solving problems generally requires multiple deductive reasoning
Problem/Current Situation-Cause-Countermeasure
Divergent thinking
definition
A kind of diffused thinking mode presented by the brain when thinking
Features
Broad thinking horizon, mostly divergent thinking, such as "one question with multiple solutions", "one thing with multiple uses", etc.
Horizontal thinking
definition
Seek solutions to problems in an unorthodox or illogical way, reverse thinking is an important way of thinking in horizontal thinking
Features
Emphasizes seeking different ways and different paths of looking at things, emphasizing unconstrained ways of thinking
Structured thinking
Features
Structural thinking
Proposed by McKinsey & Company
Relations
System thinking takes the framework as the core, and all the thinking methods of the above four kinds of thinking are covered in the process of constructing the framework
