Great explanation and guide to help focus on System Thinking

It was easy to read with every chapter having subsections at readable chunks. This allowed me, the reader, to break down the information in smaller pieces and process and retain the information.

It was short but sweet and had a few good things in it though nothing ground breaking.

Quick book on different analytical skills. Most were good reminders, and also frameworks for examining systems. Not terribly in depth - but it is quite short.

General descriptive without real explanation

An overview of system thinking and lists of tools that can be used, as well as obstacles to avoid. However, the book is short on implementation, but it is a short book !
