Systems Thinking Management
The PLS Advantage
Purpose - Leap - Surge
Know why and what you are doing, take efficient forward action, and set sights on your next point of leverage. Momentum is not accidental—it’s engineered. That is the purpose of the PLS Framework: to propel your business forward with clarity, speed, and resilience.
​
What Sets PLS Apart
Execution is not about working harder—it’s about working smarter through systems thinking. PLS equips leaders to:
-
Transform inefficiencies into leverage. Convert weak interfaces and transition points into seamless, transferable structures that accelerate decision-making and reduce risk.
-
Embed inclusion and engagement. Harness diversity of thought, collaboration, and self-expectation to create cultures where people act decisively and meaningfully.
-
Expand the option landscape. Increase agility by multiplying choices, accelerating ideation, and eliminating cognitive bias—so the best option is always conceived, not stumbled upon.
Why Systems Thinking Management Matters
Think of prefabrication in construction: it increases building speed by 20–50%. PLS applies the same principle to organizational thought. By embedding effective constructs, leaders build shared mental models faster, enabling rapid ideation, alignment, and execution.
Agility is not luck—it’s design. Narrative complexity expert Sonja Blignaut calls this the option landscape: every choice reshapes what’s possible. Companies that master this landscape gain adaptability, resilience, and competitive edge.
​
The PLS Framework in Action
Grounded in cybernetics and systems laws, PLS helps organizations embed agility at every level—operations, processes, policies, teams, and individuals—through:
-
Recursive structures that reduce hierarchy and bureaucracy.
-
Devolved power—strategy as direction, not detail.
-
Transparency and accessibility for faster communication.
-
Distributed decision-making—authority pushed closest to the situation.
-
Responsive policy-making—anticipating change before competitors or regulators force it.
The Outcome
PLS doesn’t just improve processes—it transforms organizations into adaptive systems. By aligning structures with dynamic environments, leaders foster cultures of continuous feedback, proactive learning, and innovation. The result:
-
Faster decisions
-
Resilient operations
-
Empowered teams
-
Sustainable growth in a volatile marketplace
Systems Thinking Management is not theory—it’s the engine of business momentum. PLS ensures your organization doesn’t just keep up with change, but surges ahead of it.
ABOUT
Better, quicker decisions to beat the competition
I'm a business leader with over twenty-five years of success in biotechnology, aerospace, tooling, and steel industries and I'm a PMP Certified Project Manager, so I'm experienced and know what is involved in business implementation. I'm also a Cabrera Research Labs Certified Trainer in Systems Thinking, Mapping, and Leadership (STML), which means I'm uniquely qualified to select and teach the best management applications of systems thinking, collaboration, and strategic leadership. I'm a certified Systems Thinking Standards Institute, STSI coach so I tailor adaptive approaches and blend 1:1 or group formats, on-site or remote formats.
PLS helps leaders engineer momentum by turning inefficiency into leverage, embedding inclusion into culture, and expanding the option landscape for agile decision-making. Our framework—Purpose, Leap, Surge—aligns operations with dynamic environments, empowering organizations to act faster, adapt smarter, and surge ahead in a volatile marketplace.
