This book explores how the conceptual lens of Holistic Flexibility presents new advancements in systems thinking. Holistic Flexibility talks about systems thinking as a state of mind, giving it a cognitive character.

The book presents both theoretical deliberations and practitioner cases of Holistic Flexibility. The development of systems thinking in management is described leading to the latest debates on the subject; the key pillars of Holistic Flexibility are discussed in detail. A range of case studies are presented that offer a first-hand experience of Holistic Flexibility in practice. Learnings are drawn to highlight the importance of a spiritual approach in management, an understanding which is used to further develop the conceptual lens of Holistic Flexibility since it was first introduced in 2019. This book presents a range of competencies required for practitioners to address and respond to complex situations in an interconnected world.

A bold attempt to pragmatize systems thinking and systems practice, the ideas presented in this book weave a thread between the development of the discipline, current debates, and what lies ahead. It will be highly beneficial for management researchers and graduate students who are interested in systems thinking.

The book carries a foreword by Michael C Jackson.
