For 2500 years, Western education has focused on building
competence in Analysis (reductionism) rather than Synthesis (holism).
This includes modern business schools.

Analytic thinking is a perspective on problem-solving that has given us

innovations that make up our modern world.

The analytic perspective is perfect for simple or even complicated
problems. However, when leaders must deal with complex or near
chaotic contexts, an analytic approach is typically worthless or

misleading. If analytical thinking is so good, why do:
 90% of strategic plans fail?

 60% of corporate acquisitions lose
money?
All business contexts are complex and occasionally chaotic, with an
underlying rate of turbulence that will only increase in this century.

Complex issues require a holistic, integrative viewpoint; in short, a
