Table of ContentsIntroduction PART I The Journey to Today’s Crossroads Chapter 1 - More of the Same or Something Different Chapter 2 - Foundation for the Path Forward Chapter 3 - The Evolution of “Modern-day” Business PART II A New Way of Seeing: The evolution of Ecology and “Seeing Systems Chapter 4 - The Evolution of Systems Thinking Chapter 5 - The Integration of Systems and Business PART III Putting the Pieces Together Chapter 6 - The Interdependent Organization Chapter 7 - A Model for the Transitional Journey Chapter 8 - Thoughts on How to Begin the JourneyReviews"""Today, more than ever, our executives and managers need to have at least an introductory background into how today's business paradigm has evolved and be able to recognize the many flaws and inconsistencies within it. They also need to recognize the positive impacts associated with systems thinking and sustained organizational learning. In my mind the first five chapters of The Interdependent Organization provide that needed insight about the evolution of today's business processes and practices along with a solid introduction into systems thinking and its potential impact on decisions and actions. While this describes the pieces of the puzzle that today's managers must deal with it is the last three chapters that discuss putting the puzzle together: what an interdependent organization is, a broad process to move to this ever-moving target and thoughts on how an organization can start their journey.""--James F.
