=== Networked thinking ===
Vester was known as pioneer of networked thinking, a combination of [[cybernetics|cybernetic]] and [[system]]ic ideas and [[complexity]].<ref name=":0" /> Central ideas of network thinking include viewing a system as a network of interrelated effects, leading to [[emergence|emergent]] behavior of the system as a whole. These networks can be described by using protocols, mathematical networks, computer software, so that even someone with the most basic understanding of networks will see relations, including positive and negative [[feedback loop]]s. [[Simulation]]s of systemic networks can help to decide the long-term effects of [[singular measure]]s.

=== ''Sensitivity Model'' ===
Vester's ''Sensitivity Model'' combines these ideas, and has been used since the 1980s in studies by [[Ford Motor Company|Ford]], [[UNESCO]] and other organizations.
