Title

Join the In2:InThinking Network

 
  Welcome to the In2:InThinking Network. We welcome new members who share in our aim and would like to receive our monthly newsletter. If you do, email us with your name (or a colleague's), organization, and location and we'll add you to our mailing list it. There's no membership fee to join. All we ask is that you share the resources on these pages with others and, in doing so, help us further develop, not grow, our network, in the spirit of how Russell Ackoff uses these terms and has influenced our thinking.

Why settle for the prevailing style of thought?
Be a leader in thought and action.
Improve your thinking about thinking.

Our Network Aim  
 

The aim of the In2:InThinking Network is to promote study and awareness of individual and collective thinking about sub-systems, psychology, variation, knowledge, and their interactions - elements recognized as the basis of W. Edwards Deming's “System of Profound Knowledge (SoPK)".

The concept of “inThinking” derives from “thinking about thinking”, where thinking is defined as “a way of reasoning.” InThinking invites an individual to learn to perceive the patterns of interdependencies surrounding him or her and to reason and judge with this insight.

Such a personal transformation of thinking builds upon the foundation of Profound Knowledge to include the theories of Russell Ackoff, Edward de Bono and Genichi Taguchi, among many others.
