This article presents the seminal work on systems thinking and soft systems methodology (SSM), which has greatly influenced the development of the information system (IS) field. It examines basic systems ideas and what it means to do ‘systems thinking’ and marks a distinction between ‘hard’ and ‘soft’ systems thinking, both of which are relevant in the creation of an information system in a real-life situation. This is done through an account of the development of the approach, which led to recognition of the ‘hard/soft’ distinction between these two linked, but different ways of using systems ideas, namely SSM. It shows how these ideas are relevant to the IS field. Finally it summarizes the implications of these ideas for illuminating and making sense of the field of IS as a whole.
Peter Checkland Peter Checkland is Emeritus Professor of Systems at Lancaster University. After fifteen years in industry he started teaching and researching at Lancaster. Seeking a better approach to complex management problems, he led the thirty‐year programme of action research which yielded Soft‐Systems Methodology and the distinction between ‘hard’ and ‘soft’ systems thinking. His work has received many honours, including four honorary doctorates, the Beale Medal of the OR Society, the gold medal of the UK Systems Society, the ‘Pioneer’ award of the International Council on Systems Engineering, and a Fellowship from the American Systems Engineering Honor Society.

Description Thirty years ago Peter Checkland set out to test whether the Systems Engineering (SE) approach, successful in technical problems, could be used by managers to cope with the unfolding complexities of everyday life. His findings were revealed in Systems Thinking, Systems Practice.
In this paperback reissue of his second classic of systems literature, again featuring the excerpted new section, Checkland develops his ideas to show how the principles have been extended by use in industry. Case studies are used to show how SSM can be applied and what lessons can be learned from its application in different areas.
