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.

Famous quotes containing the words influential and/or work:
“We are apt to say that a foreign policy is successful only when the country, or at any rate the governing class, is united behind it. In reality, every line of policy is repudiated by a section, often by an influential section, of the country concerned. A foreign minister who waited until everyone agreed with him would have no foreign policy at all.”
—A.J.P. (Alan John Percivale)
“The relationship between mother and professional has not been a partnership in which both work together on behalf of the child, in which the expert helps the mother achieve her own goals for her child. Instead, professionals often behave as if they alone are advocates for the child; as if they are the guardians of the child’s needs; as if the mother left to her own devices will surely damage the child and only the professional can rescue him.”
—Elaine Heffner (20th century)
