Think and work holistically

It means that all the organization’s parts should work integrated to achieve value. They shouldn’t work separately and the individuals should have a holistic vision on the outcomes in order to make value for stakeholders.

Applying the principle

To apply this principle successfully, it’s important to take care of these advices: 

• The level of complexity of an organization affects the methods to be used for decision-making, so it will be important to know the level of complexity. A more complex organization changes more frequently therefore the decisions that are useful for that system could be useless or even harmful for a complex system.
• The observation of Prerequisites of success in each organization unit and in addition, the types of relations between them could help to achieve success. 
• Automation normally could support the organization to apply a holistic view.
