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.

Famous quotes containing the words influential and/or work:

    Without hesitation, I place Freud among the heroes. He dispossessed the Jewish people of the greatest and most influential of all heroes—Moses.
    Salvador Dali (1904–1989)

    The critic lives at second hand. He writes about. The poem, the novel, or the play must be given to him; criticism exists by the grace of other men’s genius. By virtue of style, criticism can itself become literature. But usually this occurs only when the writer is acting as critic of his own work or as outrider to his own poetics, when the criticism of Coleridge is work in progress or that of T.S. Eliot propaganda.
    George Steiner (b. 1929)
