There Are No Facts, Only Interpretations

Complex human situations rarely come with clear boundaries, agreed objectives, or obvious solutions.

In this episode, we explore Peter Checkland and Mike Haynes' classic article, "Varieties of Systems Thinking: The Case of Soft Systems Methodology" (1994), and discuss how Soft Systems Methodology helps us make sense of messy real-world situations through dialogue, multiple perspectives, and learning.

This episode is also dedicated to the memory of Professor Peter Checkland, whose work transformed the field of systems thinking and continues to inspire generations of researchers and practitioners.
