SYSTEMIC
If we look carefully, we can see that our organizations are networks as well. For example, value chains (or better said 'value networks') in every industry are a system of interconnections through which the transfer of information and material goods take place. However most businesses still view their organizations as machines whose sole purpose is to convert inputs into outputs as efficiently as possible. In this mechanistic and reductionist world view, if something doesn’t work, you identify the faulty part and either fix or replace it.
A W.I.S.E. world is SYSTEMIC. Networks provide the underlying patterns of organization for all of life. Ecologists have known this for more than a 100 years. All living beings are interconnected with each other through food webs. Our own bodies are the conse- quence of multiple networks. There are the neural networks in our brain and throughout our body. Our entire circulatory SYSTEM is a network of arteries, veins and capillaries which carry nutrients all over our body.
