Support: The WAVES Strategy

  • Chapter
Book cover Systems Engineering, Systems Thinking, and Learning

Part of the book series: Understanding Complex Systems ((UCS))

  • 3857 Accesses

Abstract

As outlined in Section 7.4, the second part of the main research question - how can the evolution of systems thinking be improved in practice - is discussed in this chapter. The answers from the three refined research questions of the first part of the main research question show the direction to influence work activity towards a better learning environment particularly for systems thinking (see Figure 90). The developed intervention is a strategy, labelled WAVES (Work Activity for a Versatile Evolution of Systems engineering and thinking). Selected parts of the WAVES strategy, its implementation, and evaluation have been published in Moser (2013a) and Moser (2013b).
