Replying to Steve Elfrink in LO23925 --

Steve inquires:

>I am doing research for a book on Conscious Transformation for Leaders and
>OD Consultants. I am trying to find information on the origination of
>"Systems Thinking", who is it first credited to and when. Any help /
>direction would be greatly appreciated!

I do hate to be so obtuse but are you asking about the origins of the term
"systems thinking" or the origins of that term's theoretical and
philosophical basis?
