ABSTRACT
Systemic change becomes visible through inquiry designed to make it possible for one to comprehend the complexity of the whole system of our interest. Systemic methods are those that enable one to detect, measure, monitor, evaluate, design, analyze, and describe systemic change. Significant in distinguishing systemic from non systemic is the dynamics of inquiry itself as a system engaged in the process of relationship to the system under study. A systemic research method is first perspectivistic, in that it provides the researcher with more than one view. To be considered truly systemic, methodology must be comprehensive. There are, may state, five non systemic characteristics: analytic, objective, systematic, disciplined, and complicated. A set of characteristics can distinguish a systemic from a non systemic method. Systemic methods enable researchers to inquire with multiple perspectives. Given the propensity of human beings to work collectively, systemic methodologies have been created to study human activity systems.
