Asslamualaikum, greetings to all. Dealing with SDG will require more critical thinking, decision making and problem solving. Hence, now we are going to look at the systematic thinking.

WHAT IS SYSTEMATIC THINKING?

Well, it is understanding how different parts of a system can influence one another within a whole. It will enables and encourages us to understand the complexity of this world.

SYSTEMATIC THINKING AND ANALYTIC THINKING

Unlike the analytic thinking or the traditional thinking, systematic thinking requires more skill sets to establish a holistic view of a system and its behavior. The world today is more complex than what it used to. With the advancement of technology and Internet, everything is at the fingertip. With such advancement, the traditional linear way of thinking is no longer relevant. This is where systematic came into the picture.

SYSTEMATIC THINKING AND SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOALS

As pointed out earlier, the advancement of this world is making it more complicated and complex. In order to solve the problem with such complexity, new methods of solution are required. To do so, the old way of thinking is no longer suitable. 

Sustainability is an on-going problem. Trying to solve the issues of sustainability the way they did before will may lead to more disaster or problem. With the tools of systematic thinking, like, feedback loops and systematic mapping will help the person in charge to make a better, more dynamic, suitable and resilient solution for the problem.
