 * Systems Thinking for Learning Organizations **




 * "Senge's Laws of Systems Thinking" **


 * 1) The cure can be worse than the disease
 * 2) Faster is Slower
 * 3) Cause and effect are not closely related in time and space
 * 4) Today's problems come from yesterday's solutions
 * 5) Behavior grows better before it grows worse
 * 6) The harder you push the harder the system pushes
 * 7) The easy way usually leads back in
 * 8) Small change can produce big results, but the areas of greatest leverage are often the least obvious
 * 9) You can have your cake and eat it too, but not all at once
 * 10) Dividing an elephant in half does not produce two elephants
