Soft Systems Methodology

A soft systems approach helps team members to grasp a clear understanding of the variables that need to be addressed in order to tackle complex problem situations where other types of approach have failed.

One of the first people to recognize this was Peter Checkland and colleagues, who subsequently became known as the creators of soft systems methodology (SSM), a once radical approach to management which is now used and taught worldwide. Soft systems thinking offers powerful conceptual tools to approach complex problem situations.

We deliver a 'train the consultant' service where you would be able to apply and use the Soft Systems Methodology principles in your next change management project assignment, delivering the methodology to everyone involved.
