Why this matters
Systems theory shows that life is about connection and flow (Wilber, 2000). This is universal across all systems, from cells to forests, individuals, social groups, and organizations. Everything’s linked, constantly shifting and adapting. By seeing organizations as living systems, we get a fresh way to understand how they survive, grow, and sometimes stumble—all while staying part of a bigger web (Capra & Luisi, 2014).
