Currently the globally-connected world creates complexity for local decision makers. Environmental, social, organizational, and informational problems are pluralistic and messy. Systems approaches are required to reduce conflict and confusion. A key challenge is to apply holistic systems concepts to improve the lives of those served by systems of all kinds. This challenge motivated the theme for 2007's ANZSYS conference-'Systemic development: local solutions in a global environment'. This volume brings together nearly seventy papers covering the following topics: A globally-connected virtual world, Applications of creativity to systemic problem-solving, Conceptual modelling, Critical systems, Information systems, Managing systemic development, Organizational systems, Regional and environmental systems, Social systems, System dynamics, and Systems theory/systems thinking.
