System Thinking
System Thinking - Awareness
Explains what “system context” is for a given system of interest and describes why it is important
Explains why it is important to be able to identify and understand what interfaces are
Explains what “systems thinking” is and explains why it is important
Explains how business, enterprise and technology can each influence the definition and development of the system and vice versa
Explains what “emergence” is, why it is important, and how it can be “positive” or negative” in its effect upon the system as a whole
Explains why it is important to recognize interactions amongst systems and their elements
Explains why it may be necessary to approach systems thinking in different ways, depending on the situation, and provides examples
Explains why it is important to understand purpose and functionality of a system of interest
Explains what a “system hierarchy” is and why it is important
System Thinking - Supervised Practitioner

Develops own understanding of this competency area through Continual Professional Development (CPD)
Defines the properties of a system
Develops their own systems thinking insights to share thinking across the wider project (e.g. working groups, other teams)
Defines system characteristics in order to improve understanding of need
Uses systems thinking to contribute to enterprise technology development activities
Explains how system behavior produces emergent properties
Explains why the boundary of a system needs to be managed
Uses the principles of system partitioning within system hierarchy on a project
System Thinking - Practitioner
Identifies enterprise and technology issues affecting the design of a system and addresses them using a systems thinking approach
Identifies the interaction between humans and systems, and systems and systems
