About the Applied Systems Thinking (ASysT) Institute

Established in 2007, the Applied Systems Thinking (ASysT) Institute is a collaborative endeavor of Analytic Services Inc. ASysT was created out of a mutually recognized need to apply systems thinking principles to problems of national significance while simultaneously developing an educational enterprise for all levels of leadership, as well as practitioners, throughout the national security, homeland security, intelligence, and broader policy communities. In short, ASysT wants to advance the art and science of decision-making through applied systems thinking.
