5.0 out of 5 stars A Great Collection of System Thinking Material, 8 Jul 2007
By Stephen Parry "Author of Sense and Respond" (Lean Service Transformation Designer London) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Well researched, written and presented. The book lives up to its claims, I have found this to be an invaluable resource for my management teams. It might be considered as a systems thinking foundation course in it own right.

Excellent.
