Systems Intelligence - Influential Work

Influential Work

Systems intelligence follows from the research conducted by Peter Senge in the field of systems thinking. Other works strongly referred to in the SI research are authors ranging from Howard Gardner to Herbert A. Simon to Marcial Losada. The following research areas have influenced and been referred to in the SI research:

  • systems theory and systems thinking
  • neuroanatomy of human mind
  • positive psychology and cognitive psychology
  • operations research and applied mathematics
  • creative problem solving and heuristics
  • bounded rationality

One notable influence comes from action research, which basically means research done inside the research objective, on a continuous basis, learning from one's action.

    Laurent A. Daloz (20th century)

    The work of the miner has its unavoidable incidents of discomfort and danger, and these should not be increased by the neglect of the owners to provide every practicable safety appliance. Economies which involve a sacrifice of human life are intolerable.
    Benjamin Harrison (1833–1901)
