Integrative Thinking is a unique approach and set of methods to solve complex and challenging problems by integrating insights and knowledge from various disciplines and balancing multiple imperatives. By approaching a complex problem from various perspectives, we can analyze each element from multiple perspectives, bringing evidence and insights from relevant fields. This critical analysis considers different connections and relationships, allowing us to consider more innovative and creative possibilities. Instead of making decisions based on a series of trade-offs, our methods bring creative options where the sum is greater than each of the parts, all while managing within the scope of the project, the budget, and the schedule.
At ERDMAN, we believe listening is a skill best achieved through practice. We seek first to understand, listening and understanding our clients’ business objectives, metrics for success, and business goals. Your business goals are what direct our approach and solutions.
