Integrative Thinking

Integrative thinking is a field which was originated by Graham Douglas in 1986.[1][2][3] He describes Integrative Thinking as the process of integrating intuition, reason and imagination in a human mind with the objective of developing a holistic continuum of strategy, tactics, action, review and evaluation. Integrative Thinking may be learned by applying the SOARA (Satisfying, Optimum, Achievable Results Ahead) Process devised by Graham Douglas to any problem. The SOARA Process employs a set of triggers of internal and external knowledge. This facilitates associations between what may have been regarded as unrelated parts of a problem... Integrative thinking is a discipline and methodology for solving complex or wicked problems. That theory was originally created by Roger Martin... Integrative Thinking is influenced by and connected to a number of intellectual traditions. Most notably, it is influenced by the pragmatism of Charles S. Peirce and his notion of abductive reasoning, the falsificationism (Falsifiability) of Karl Popper and the management theories of Chris Argyris and James March. It is also related to the work of Thomas Kuhn, Imre Lakatos, Bertrand Russell, Ludwig Wittgenstein and others. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Integrative_thinking cf systems thinking?
