Business School in Torononto.
Integrative thinking is defined as a
discipline for solving complex problems.

Search for creative
resolution of tension
Architecture

5. Why is a new way of thinking
required?
“Creativity is the most important
leadership quality according to
CEOs”.
“Today’s complexity is only expected
to rise and more than half of CEOs
doubt their ability to manage it”.
“Better performers manage
complexity on behalf of their
organizations, customers and
partners”.

6. Are there models to support
integrative thinking?
“In the conventional methods and
technologies, problems are analyzed
and simplistic ideas and solutions are
chucked into project plans with many
independent parts that are poorly
coordinated.
Tom Debevoise, author of Buisiness Process Management
“The question is: are there methods
and tools avaliable to help people
master integrative thinking and
reduce the ever increasing work
complexity combined with
compressing of time frames?”

8. What makes Scientrix a powerful
integrative approach?
Salience: More features of the problem are highlighted
Scientrix identifies the dimensions and variables relevant for an
problem and then organizes them through the matrix structure. By
combining these dimensions, the matrix structure enables one view
multitude of models and options are generated to solve the problem
Through the matrix structure
Causality: Multi – dimensional and non – linear causality considered.
The Scientrix matrix structure embeds cause – effective relationships.
The matrix framework helps to deal with the relationships between
multiuple dimensions without having to struggle with complexity.
