ABSTRACT
What is systemic thinking? What is foresight? After all, we know there are boundaries to our lives and thoughts, and both are essential parts of the wholeness explicit to systemic thinking. Similarly, we all anticipate the future in small and large ways so that anticipation or foresight is hardly an unusual activity. So what is all the fuss about? Sir Boyle Roche clearly knew the answer lay in the freedom of creative thought and anticipation, combined with the need to control their consequences, intended and otherwise, at whatever scale is involved.
