Systemic methods

The systemic approach was born from the need to face the ever-growing complexity of reality and to detect, indirectly, the relationships existing between the elements that compose it. The interrelationships between the component elements of the systems are more important than each separate element. A system can be considered open or closed, depending on whether or not it interacts with the environment. In Futures Studies, the first priority is to find the objectives of the system, specifically the objectives of survival, this is followed by the direction, or the directions, of the system and its time of survival.
