Issue with systemic, rather than systems. Get involved in intellectual navel-gazing. Priorities of systems thinkers not in line with pragmatic managers. Need to create some tools. Organizational situation should dictate choice of tools, not systems thinkers coming it.
Pragmatism calls for the creative use of ANY tool which works.
Means that systems thinkers must recognize the needs of pragmatists. System thinking does have benefits, however. It helps to create understanding in a complex world. Critical system thinking has tried to reduce tension between hard and soft thinking. Need tools which deliver systemic solutions.
