    10 Laws of Systems Thinking

    By Fazrul Ismail | April 2, 2008

    Many asks me what does it mean with the number for every category in this web? 01 Semantics etc. Here I would explain the reasons.


    Although this site is quite new (in fact just several days), I had ST Gallery from December 2005! I write in Malay language and several days ago I decided to write in English since I need to find more literatures to prepare myself for write up in my future planning (guess what? ).

    I interested in Systems Thinking since 2002. In 2003, I researched in depth and I wrote a paper which I presented at Butler University, Indianapolis, Indiana. I wrote a book entitled ‘Pemikiran Sistemik’ in Egypt and I reprinted the book in my home country Malaysia.

    When I arrived Malaysia, somebody asked me how to apply Systems Thinking easily? There are no principles etc? I dug all my literatures and at last I come up with these 10 Laws of Systems Thinking. In this site, I keep the laws since I am trying to gather as much references as possible to strengthen my observation and reserach. Those 10 :

  • Know Semantics, Think Systemic
  • Be Kaaffah, You Will Pass
  • System Is A Ladder
  • Romance of Dimensions
  • We Need Energy To Do Things
  • Once You Have Energy, We Need to Move
  • Change the Present, Affirm the Past and the Future
  • Expect Time Delay
  • Inverse Response Everywhere
  • Between Theory & Practice, Click the Resonance

    • I hope this could be a good introduction for those are not familiar with these categories.

      I have read your books and had undergone the course on ST (years ago) but yet… I think I need some revision on the laws especially law number 9. Please elaborate more. Thank you.
