Abstract
Working periodically between 1995 and 2005, a team of scholar-practitioners involved in related streams of strategic management and systems thinking developed a series of conceptual maps that attempted to integrate ideas from these theoretical and practical fields. Whimsically dubbed the Thinking Persons' Institute (TPI) Worldview these maps provided the basis for an integrated approach that has been used over the past five years to improve both teaching and practical interventions in both areas. This paper reports on successful efforts to teach the TPI worldview to classes of students at the University at Albany, the University of Minnesota, and Strathclyde University - although the main emphasis is on a one week seminar at the Humphrey Institute at the University of Minnesota. The paper concludes with an evaluation of these experiences.
